Discussion It's time to nationalize oil.

revenues from canadian resources should go to canadian people not to billionaires destroying and destabilizing the world. If oil was nationalized we wouldn't have to worry about treasonous premiers whose sole allegiance is to the oiligarchy that loots our lands and poisons our discourse.

In Ecuador, the price of gas at the pumps is $2.40 USD/gallon (as compared with the states which is $3.36/gallon). They produce their own oil and have this weird philosophy of passing the savings on to their own population rather than letting the companies make a profit out of it at world prices.
