@9JQKZYT11mos11MO
Nationalize the energy sector while still allowing provinces to privatize temporarily to test new ideas
@9F6VHWJ1yr1Y
All of Canada should use the Hydro-Quebec model
@8Z9R3TXRhinoceros3yrs3Y
Both privatized and nationalized energy companies to keep the sector competitive while allowing for Canadian control of national resources.
@9WYVB8R2mos2MO
The energy sector should be owned and operated by the people independently of the government or private entities.
@9F5KMPV1yr1Y
Nationalize the energy sector. Greedy private corporations shouldn't control the energy. Electricity should also be free to everyone but have a limit on how much you can use. Everyone should have electricity even if they cannot pay as long as they aren't a resource hog and it should be the federal government's responsibility.
@9JZV4G6Conservative10mos10MO
No one is reducing my cost. The government claims they do, by something like $12 per month...but from the line to my door, costing me more than my actual hydro
@9H6GJSN1yr1Y
Nationalize but make it possible for our high energy-producing provinces to sell and manufacture more energy to nations.
@9F97JY41yr1Y
only high risk sources like nuclear
@9D8647BConservative1yr1Y
Mixture of private and public
@9D75VZW1yr1Y
nationalize and make utility bills completely free. only payment should be the carbon tax
@9D4R2DY1yr1Y
Nationalize with strict regulatory oversight.
@8SRCS7J4yrs4Y
@9RQNPMR5mos5MO
Nationalize with the appropriate combination of efficiency and future building or use the business model of future guardian where the ' shareholders' include the environment and future generations.
@9MKYHZ77mos7MO
Nationalize, as in Canada energy consumption in the winter months is not optional and must be regulated to prevent price gouging, grid shortages, and other instability
@9K58RGL10mos10MO
Both, this should be a joint effort between the private and national sectors. The private sector needs to be strongly monitored and regulated, the national should ensure minimum well-being of citizens as a priority. At no point should a foreign party be in control of either sector.
@9J6QYXY11mos11MO
Maybe they should nationalize a major energy sector company to keep the other companies in check... PetroCan?
@8T452LX4yrs4Y
energy systems need to be rebuilt for the future. what we have now in both the green and non green methods are both bad for the environment.
@8T3MTKV4yrs4Y
Nationalize but have government control a minimum of 51% shares and put the rest on the free market for Canadian residents/citizens to buy
@8T2Y8DQNew Democratic4yrs4Y
I think the government shouldn't privatize or nationalize the energy sector.
@8S3NTLN4yrs4Y
I'd prefer to replace privatized energy with a worker co-op based system
@8RX74ZL4yrs4Y
I think that there should be a domestic energy company, something like PetroCan
Which model saves the most money for Canadians and is the most economical. Could there be a blend of private and nationally owned
@8R8BTQJ4yrs4Y
Keep the current system.
@8R7LVHV4yrs4Y
Have a mix of both, but regulate it & invest in renewable energy.
@8R3ZM954yrs4Y
Nationalize, but invest in sustainable green energy
@8QSZTBG4yrs4Y
i dont really have an opinion on this
@8QQZ5V64yrs4Y
Leave things as they are. Both options are bad.
@8QDY4PP4yrs4Y
Government needs to get out of the way
@8Q4FNGHConservative4yrs4Y
Majority of energy produced should be nationalized, with private firms allowed to operate as well.
@8PYS5YYNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Nationalize and invest heavily the renewable energy sector and allow the carbon energy sector to die a natural economic death.
@8PXBZR5Libertarian4yrs4Y
Neither. The federal government should not meddle in the energy industry, that is a provincial responsibility.
@8PWLPJS4yrs4Y
Privatize but with proper regulations
@8PFW692Rhinoceros4yrs4Y
The national government should support the provinces in their choices for the energy sector.
@8P939QD4yrs4Y
Govern the people and stop looking for media highlight
@8P4JRW84yrs4Y
The government should nationalize the energy businesses that are at risk of going bankrupt that also employ a large number of Canadians and contribute to the economy significantly.
@8P2ZZM24yrs4Y
Privitize, but increase regulatory oversight for price control only
@8NW2GGJ4yrs4Y
Privatize and deregulate for more competition
@8M2NFWC4yrs4Y
Energy mixes and nationalization/privatization is a regional matter as each region has different needs. Need more data on this. Nationalization helps to some degree, but competition drives innovation but strict environmental and regulatory oversight needed, while reducing bureaucratic red tape for businesses entering market.
@8LG95RH4yrs4Y
Privatize, but found a crown corporation in order to prevent artificial price gouging
@8J8WW99New Democratic4yrs4Y
a mix of both with good regulatory oversight.
@8DFVTYV4yrs4Y
Should energy costs be reduced? Maybe they should cost more.
Provinces should have the ability to create crown corporations and resources and the federal government should be able to regulate its side of the deal which has been reaffirmed by the courts time and time again, through revenue sharing and such.
@9CM6JT81yr1Y
I don’t think it matters our government is/will dictate the laws to private company
@9B7SW332yrs2Y
Just ensure poor Canadians can afford energy costs. A mix would benefit all.
@962KL2Y2yrs2Y
@99SZPFK2yrs2Y
Nationalize, but there should be more renewable energy sources
@99SFZCX2yrs2Y
Nationalize, but make it fully renewable
No. It should be a free market only regulated to prevent monopolies and malfeasance.
@99DF7LD2yrs2Y
@999DNDR2yrs2Y
Not important to me so I have no idea.
@998D2GP2yrs2Y
Privatize, but with slight oversight on important matters
@98ZSNKV2yrs2Y
This question s arbitrary
@98XTYYBConservative2yrs2Y
Nationalise transmission, metering, and large generation assets; privatise smaller generation assets such as wind turbines, LNG generation plants, and solar farms.
@98TLB6M2yrs2Y
Increase regulatory oversight, but don't nationalize.
@98HXQFC2yrs2Y
It should be both, in a sense of privatized so there’s competition with completive pricing with oversight with nationalized by the government so could also have some skin in the game and gain some profits too.
@98HL8XH2yrs2Y
Need a mix of both if we’re going to be successful fighting climate change & meeting tte worlds energy needs. Canada has an opportunity to show leadership here - DON’T BLOW IT!
@98GQZPF2yrs2Y
@98FMWWR2yrs2Y
slowly move towards nationalizing
@98647882yrs2Y
Both have benefits and shortcomings and can be used simultaneously.
@98554TR2yrs2Y
The government should ban the carbon tax and lower other taxes. Keep the government out
@97BRZXP2yrs2Y
nationalize, with a firm commitment to more sustainable and enviromentaly safe methods... and nuclear lots of nuclear
@95ZXJVJ2yrs2Y
Privatize, removing red tape and incentivizing Canadian production.
@94BCJHRConservative2yrs2Y
Maintain in its current form
@9464L2W2yrs2Y
Nationalize, and encourage people to work, so they get money and help the community
@92M4ZTQ3yrs3Y
Nationalize delivery, breakup and privatize energy production companies
Yes as long as the government sets very strict regulations for using ONLY sustainable resources to produce energy.
@8W65L6QNew Democratic3yrs3Y
The way the energy sector is now is satisfactory.
@8VTQKZM3yrs3Y
The government should hire the best business minds they can to run these crown corporations like a business that benefits society. The profits go into a pool to improve the effectiveness and efficiencies of the companies and to increase our energy options.
@8VSLR8F3yrs3Y
Both nationalize and privatize
@8VQYNV93yrs3Y
Nationalized at a provincial level
@8YRX8JV3yrs3Y
Satisfecho con el sistema actual
@8Y34B8Q3yrs3Y
Privatize but punish fossil fuels.
@8XZYC7Y3yrs3Y
Privatize but break up monopolies like hydro
@8XZC2RV3yrs3Y
To reduce energy costs we should break up hyrdo into smaller companies. As long as they have the monopoly it doesn't matter weather the government gets involved
@8XM5JKTNew Democratic3yrs3Y
Nationalize and increase environmental and oversight regulations
@8X4Q4DZ3yrs3Y
Our energy sector is fine the way it is.
@8WTF2JTConservative3yrs3Y
@8WP78JH3yrs3Y
Nationalize the grid / delivery of energy, privatize the creation and sale of energy
@8WGGVKD3yrs3Y
Privatize but increase competition.
@8VVPX8LNew Democratic3yrs3Y
Depends on what aspect of the energy sector.
@8VTL4WZ3yrs3Y
Energy needs vary too much to create one national energy plan
@8VLM6Y63yrs3Y
Neither would help costs
@8VL37XS3yrs3Y
Privatize, with regulation limiting the cost to the consumer.
@8VKLKYBNew Democratic3yrs3Y
Mix of nationalized and privatized.
@8VKDFG3New Democratic3yrs3Y
Neither, but more oversight
@8VKD4HP3yrs3Y
Privatize and allow individuals to produce, create and share energy without government permission.
@8VK33KS3yrs3Y
Quebec hydro is our own ressource. We cannot be compared to the other provinces.
@8VJ8ZRD3yrs3Y
No go nuclear and reduce that way
@8VJ7CMY3yrs3Y
A combination of the two, as some energy like electricity should he nationalized.
@8VH2TZWConservative3yrs3Y
It should operate under the same framework as NavCanada, a privately run, not for profit organization.
@8VGFPVG3yrs3Y
Keep the ratio of public:private ownership at current levels.
@8VDGRKT3yrs3Y
Have government owned energy while leaving the private sector to the market
See no particular need to change the way it is now.
@8VC4CHC3yrs3Y
We should switch to natural resources within our homes
@8VBHT5P3yrs3Y
Not unformed enough to have an opinion
