   Nothing has to be subsidized if it is a natural resource, taken only as   
   needed for its citizens.   
   And OWNED BY those citizens.   
      
   When it was owned by PetroCan - a crown corporation - our fuel prices   
   were reasonable.  When it was privatized, our foreign-owned companies   
   took us all by the throats and squeezed whatever-the-hell-they-wanted   
   from us.  Like now.   
      
   'Nobody' came by his name honestly.
