The Canadian style Balkanization and multiculturalism is what inhibits your progress as a country, everything becomes a chore because you always have to make sure Groups X, Y, Z are OK with it.
In Norway (a leftist country) they have no problem exporting their oil, no massive pushback or conflict, everyone is on the same page, they just do it and enjoy the riches.
Here Alberta wants to export their oil, but it’s landlocked so environmentalist BC can throw a hissy fit and block it, Quebec complains because they don’t want a pipeline, some native tribe invokes a 200 year old treaty and blockades a train or whatever etc. It’s not sustainable.
