Summary:

Canada loves its cartels and monopolies.  In fact, the government once openly formed the Uranium Cartel, until that was perceived as bad political optics.  After that, they went underground.  The driver is nationalism, and in Quebec it is micro-nationalism.  We have a sparse and spread population, so if want national champions to keep out the grubby outsiders, we form cartels. The system works
