Crazy thought, why don't the people all collectively pay a portion of what they make, and they use that money to build infrastructure and energy projects? We can call it takes, because it takes all of us to fund. Yeah...

What they make requires exporting generally to pay for their imports. What would you suggest they produce that could supplant oil?

The USA already buys a lot of electricity off of Canada so if we massively invest in green energy we could export the electricity to the USA. Given their current trade attitude the better plan would be invest in manufacturing our own green infrastructure and then export that stuff like windmill blades.

Also if Canada is serious about replacing all our cars with EVs but still won't build any transit, we are going to need A LOT more electricty for ourselves.
