This is exactly what i have been talking about for years.
Saudi Arabia is a bad example, but compare the potential of Canada with Norway, the world's largest sovereign wealth fund.
Norway used their natural energy resources strategically, invested the money they made and now has a sovereign wealth fund backing even man, woman and child with ~$250,000 EACH.
Canada may have some of the highest potential in the WORLD, if we finally smarten up and leverage our resources to help the people.
