Canada is rich in natural resources and energy, but the Trudeau government needs to stop putting "obstacles" in the way of prosperity, said long-time political commentator and journalist, Rex Murphy.
"If any other country in the world had the bounty that Canada has in both [energy and minerals], we would have every government, not just the federal, provincial, federal, municipal saying thanks Providence or or thank God, and we would not be building impediments and always making the most essential industries the ones that have to prove themselves," Murphy told Kitco News on the sidelines of the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference.
