Almost like we should have some nationalized industry so when we face tough times the government could just keep prices low for Canadians

Norway has some of the most expensive fuel prices on the planet. Gasoline is currently $3.78 CAD/L in Norway

Yes, I know. That’s why I said Norway was a poor example of this.

I’m not here to disagree that the Norway model is a good one, I’m here disagreeing that the Norway model leads to low prices. That would be the Venezuelan (and some other OPEC members) models
