This is my preference.
Make hay while the sun shines. Invest in the future, whether that's in green technology, infrastructure, education, or anything else that our politicians want to mortgage our future on.
The world will continue to consume 100mm barrels of oil a day for a long time... Some of that might as well be Canadian oil, by Canadian companies, that pay Canadian royalties and Canadian workers that pay Canadian income taxes.
I still like to think of Canada as one of the "good guys". Leaving Canadian resources stranded in the ground will do less than zero to fight climate change. Instead, if we should be displacing some of those "bad guy" barrels... I don't exactly envision a producer like Saudi to be re-investing their oil proceeds in clean tech or other green R&D initiatives.
Future Canadians will shake their heads at the billions and billions of dollars we left in the ground "for them", while the struggle to service the debts we leave them.
