Carney's vision for Canada is a petro-state. A country that exports nothing but its own landmass, where all the industry and commercial activity unrelated to the oil industry is superfluous and expendable because the oil industry creates more jobs and more revenue.

I understand the rationale. More money for Canadians and more worth to that money means higher quality-of-life for Canadians and more cash for the government to use to provide services. So I see where he's coming from.

But that's still not the country I want Canada to be. A country should be noted by what it produces, not what it merely extracts.
