You can say Canada isn't that influential, but everyone loves to talk about Norway. And they should. Norway has done a great job so far of grabbing all the money they can from their resources to give their country a great chance to be ok in a world where those resources aren't as valued.
If Canada can't be as "Influential" as Norway, we are more pathetic than I give us credit for.

People love to talk about Norway's sovereign wealth fund and how it was funded by their oil industry, but I've never heard anyone talking about Norway being influential.
We also can't even do what Norway did because we have political parties that want to kill the industry outright.
