It's a global market.. Canada is profiting greatly off of that market already.. but they aren't in control of it. They can't just set a price and go with it.. and who "they" are is a series of independent companies either way. A lot of money is being made, and the Canadian economy is doing well partly because of it.. and partly because of better banking regulation, and simply more responsible actions when it boils down to it. Their influence has increased, but I don't think they can just go willy nilly raising prices. If they raise prices it would likely be because of an across the board raise in the price of a barrel of oil on the international market.
