Nationalize the energy sector while still allowing provinces to privatize temporarily to test new ideas

 @9F5KMPVfrom Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

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.

Both, We should have options. If nationalized, it should be at cost with a small profit margin which would be used for upgrades and maintenance and not for bonuses or profit shares

Increase oversight, compliance with national standards, devolve power away from provinces, but actual ownership isn't the key issue. Absolutely restrict the exportation of energy resources.
