I&#x27;d argue Canada made concerted efforts to support natural resource industries at the cost of all other industries.  Eg. expending massive political capital with the US to push for Keystone XL.  We&#x27;ve hurt our image abroad by fighting climate change action, Canada even refused to consider asbestos a hazardous material because there&#x27;s a single asbestos mine in the country.  As soon as that mine closed we switched to considering it hazardous.  These are short termed, unprincipled policy decisions  that help the resource industry at the expense of the Canadian brand.
