Adrian Dix wants British Columbia to be like Norway.

The province’s Minister of Energy and Climate Solutions expressed that aspiration during a recent, lengthy interview in his Vancouver riding. It would mean being a leading supplier of fossil fuels to the world, while also being a leader in the pivot away from them domestically.
