      Doesn’t even have to be fully nationalized, even owning just one national oil company like Petro-Canada was so that profits stay for Canadians and we have freedom to choose to do something like this.

          For young ones and new Canadians: FYI Petro-Canada was founded as a crown corporation and operated as such until 1991.

      Why stop at oil, why not forestry, mining, manufacturing, tech, real estate?

      Alberta cant be the only one with their resources being redirected, wouldnt a full socialist utopia in every province be a fairer path?

          Well its only fair, it makes no sense to specifically target Albertas industries. Its almost like we do have it out for them at that point, and maybe they should separate.

    It’s war, aimed at causing widespread suffering among civilians. We should be standing up against it. All indications so far are that we won’t do anything.

    Canada should send a whole shitload of fuel down to Cuba. Haven’t we been enjoying relatively cheap vacations for decades from this country? It’s time to give back.

      … if Canada were to team up with China in a humanitarian effort …

      I would agree Canada to send oil to Cuba, but Canada doesn’t need China for this. And China’s own support for Cuba doesn’t reflect ‘humanitarian effort’ but rather an attempt to gain influence in the region. Very much as the US administration, China has no interest in humanitarian assistance, they seek leverage over others to exploit them for their own goals.

        China can use economical pressure on the usa to allow countries to give aid to Cuba but they are selfish and self centered . Canada who is still selling weapons to the terrorist stste of israel also do it for keeping the fake image of the country wjo always stand for human rights values

            Look at how many countries the west destroyed in the last few decades. They will continue to destroy everything where China can do business. Chinese selfishness could hurt them in the long term

                What China wants to do in the rest of the world is to raise the world standard of living in order to produce a larger market for Chinese exports

                and what the west is doing is to fuel civil wars all over the countries China want to do business with . Rebuilding what the west destroyed takes decades to fix .

                China is selfish because they keep ignoring how serious is the destruction of Iraq, Libya, Syria, Cuba, Venezuela and the attempt to destroy Iran . The policy of non interference may seems smart in short term but not in long term. China should be clear with American do not mess with our business
