    Why stop at oil, why not manufacturing, mining, lumber, banks, hydro, etc…?

    What is it that makes oil special when we could nationalize everything?

      I’m in.

      Or at the very least have a nationalized competitor to the private options. (And add groceries to your list.)

      Look at Saskatchewan cell phone prices. They’re the lowest in the country because they still have their provincial telecom, SaskTel.

        I think that’s more fair, rather than nationalizing only one provinces exports. I’d like housing be blocked for foreign and corporate investment too, as a first step, nationalize it so it can only be owned by citizens who live here at least 6 months of the year.
