This is the answer that makes me wild.

I’m born and raised Canadian, and look at Norway as the small version of what Canada could be. Oil is a finite resource. We could simply say “you can extract some of it if you follow every single one of these environmental regulations, and pay enough in taxes that we can grow a massive fund while also investing in green energy AND the tools we need to hold you accountable. If you break one, it’s a crippling fine. If you break more or a referendum says you’re out, you’re out.”
