This report compares the Canada and Alberta experience of managing oil wealth to that of Norway, another major petroleum producing and exporting country. The report finds that for too long foreign and domestic petroleum interests have been appropriating a disproportionate share of the petro-wealth in Canada and blocking effective carbon reduction measures. It asserts that Canadian governments should heed the Norwegian example and reclaim control of the petroleum industry.
The CCPA’s bold vision and creative solutions help us imagine better futures for all. Its efforts to build bridges between labour, industry, and civil society and mentor young activists lay the foundation for realizing those provocative futures. I consider my support for the CCPA an investment in a better future for British Columbia.
