It's probably the only country that exports oil and is not a shithole (for a lack of better wording), or a dictatorship.

Edit: with oil being the highest export

The US exports oil, so which is it - a shithole or dictatorship according to you?

The wording is not lacking, you just need to try better, or you would sound like an ignorant person.

Canada exports oil. We are neither a shithole nor a dictatorship.

As a progressive and hip vancouverite... the part of canada that exports oil is a bit of a shithole and rather authoritarian when it comes to their dealings with the other provinces (thanks for the pipeline alberta!)

While I don't like the Alberta government, there's nothing authoritarian about them fighting for their own self-interest. Every province tries to do this. Some have more leverage than others.

And it's a beautiful province full of wonderful people, in my humble opinion. (So is B.C. I'm from Ontario, for what it's worth.)

I should have added: country with oil as highest export good.

Canada, US, and the UK all export oil.
