Canada has oil and refineries, why don't we separate from this global oil crisis

Why do we have to suffer high gas prices when a tyrant decides to kill women in children in a foreign nation far far away?
We have our own oil and refineries, why not just set our own prices and ignore the global barrel price?

If Canada had enough oil to do that how can you be sure that Sweat Potato Hitler wouldn't try to attack you guys next?

Two answers.. "Business is business" And the Canadian government is tempering its responses to American bullying, because someone has to be the adult in the room. And thank goodness Mark Carney is there.😷

The problem is that you have private companies profiting from the sale of public assets.

Why would they ignore the opportunity to make a profit?

Sell high. Buy low. Even the Chinese do this unfortunately.
