Cheers,
Indeed interesting and directly transferable. However, without generalizing too much, one could say that, in fact, the situation in both countries can be extrapolated to include a LOT (majority?) of countries where the natural resource has been mismanaged by government without consideration to either the long term effects or the "TRUE" owners of the resource. It is certainly time that the owners of the resource (all Canadians) held our politicians to a higher standard than what has occured up to now and that those politicians recognize that while the commercial interests have deeper pockets to lobby on their behalf, the real power lays at the voting booth.
The time for "hoping" our elected representatives (as well as our paid resource managers) wake up and handle our concerns in an authentic and reasoned approach is over. The time has come to start throwing their sorry asses out and electing representation who truely give a damn.
