Graydon: "Canada is a petro-state in a bad way politically."
There is an effort underway to keep us entrapped in being a petro-state against our will right now, provincial government by provincial government. It's been underway for a decade or two, at least, I believe.
Whether we can rescue ourselves from that...October is the next stop-gap point for that, I think. Is it the last opportunity, though?
