Well, it's not really Canada that has oil, it's more like just Alberta isn't it? Norway is a unitary state while Canada is very federal.

- fleitz 12y agoAlberta has almost as much oil as Saudi Arabia, but the rest of Canada has more moderate reserves similar to those in the US. There's also the Hibernia field with the largest oil platform in the world.
- _delirium 12y agoMostly Alberta, but also other places, especially given that many provinces have smallish populations, so it doesn't take a lot of oil to be a large part of the economy. British Columbia, for example, has 4.6 million people and produces 20k barrels/day of oil, which is more per capita than Texas (even after the recent jump in Texas's production). But it's not as economy-dominating as in Alaska, Norway, or Alberta.
