I always heard “Canada is three mining companies standing on eachother’s shoulders in a trechcoat.”

Although that one applies equally to Australia.

It is more like an oil company, a mining company, and a logging company all on each others shoulders in a trenchcoat

and two cell phone companies hanging off the torso pretending they are arms … and a big giant dong of a grocery store hanging off the groin.

Australia has three mobile phone networks, so presumably in a different trenchcoat

But really in Australia the power is in the mining and fossil fuel industry, and especially in coal which is both.

One party wanted a carbon tax which would hurt mining (though less now than then as they have switched to electric everything due to reduced cost of solar and batteries) and fossil fuels and the press and television media went hard against that party and it’s leader (who was thoroughly vilified), causing our worst ever parliament to be elected at the next election
