I don't get how we're selling off our resources to the Chinese anyway. Chinese companies are looking at buying Canadian companies. PetroCanada et al don't own the oil now, so why would China own the oil after the fact?

They could buy companies that own rights to extract and sell resources. They don't 'own' them, they just get to decide how much gets dug up and where it goes.

In the case of oilsands, or zinc mines, I'm not sure what the impact is. They are supposed to pay a royalty. That presumes that the petroleum is sold, doesn't it? I would imagine that there are provisions buried in the regulations that might cover state owned companies being involved in the resource sector.

fer instance, Exon would not be able to get away with owning a subsidiary that dug up oil and then sold it for sub market prices to another subsidiary outside of the country and thus ripping off the GoAlberta.

I suppose those same regulations would cover CubaOil buying rights to a patch of the oil sands and shipping oil to Havanna.

The Government of Alberta owns the mineral rights to over 90% of the province, including almost all of the oil sands. Oil companies lease these rights from the GoA and must renew the leases or permits on a regular basis. If a Chinese owned company decided to screw with the regular markets, I can't imagine it would be that hard to say "sorry, no more leases for you". In the meantime, the GoA would still collect it's royalties.

Here's a good link about the leasing process in the oil sands:

I didn't know Canada has some kind of atomic energy research centre. They don't seem to need that.

We have a significant number of nuclear power sites and have sold reactors to quite a few foreign countries.
