So BC Coast is Canada’s coast says premier Moe of Saskatchewan.
I guess that makes oil in Alberta Canada’s oil.
And uranium and potash in Saskatchewan is Canada’s.
And of course that means that Ottawa and the other provinces have a say as to how these resources are managed.

I would be DELIGHTED to have all of my online orders and parcel mail through Canada Post - and would pay more for it. It's the only service with a secure lock box in my building (everything else gets stolen), and it is a million times more reliable than these "last-mile carriers". Make it possible!
