Nationalize??

So the latest polling shows that half of Canadians want the oil industry to be nationalized... because of high gas prices.

This is an example (a very good one) of why Preston Manning (great guy) was wrong. Populism is no way to run a country because it can lead to very bad decisions by a very uneducated public. If we had referenda to change laws, we just might nationalize the oil industry and run it into the ground.
