Doug Ford: “It’s going to drive the world economy, there’s trillions of dollars around the world being invested.”

That will provide a secure, domestic and sovereign stockpile of fuels like diesel, gasoline, and jet fuel to protect the economy of workers and jobs in strengthening Canada's long-term energy security.

The cost of defending Canada’s sovereignty isn’t something that shows up on the private sector’s balance sheet.

I want to be clear: what I’m talking about is government providing the patient capital needed to invest in our future.
