Either way, Canada is poised to be one of the greatest sources of highly valuable and demanded resources (especially oil and fresh water) in the world. I'm hoping the government doesn't sell us out. Our political process is actually pretty good for preventing such things, but if recent events are any indication, anything can happen (the PM has shut down parliament for the second time in less than a year). Here's hoping it's managed well for our benefit.
