A two price system rather than helping Canadians at the expense of foreigners actually redistributes income among Canadians. Some Canadians are made worse off (owners of oil land, shareholders in oil companies); some foreigners are made better off (shareholders in Canadian manufacturing firms, purchasers of Canadian manufactured goods). One portion of the complex redistribution of income is examined. For domestic Canadian consumers, a subsidy on direct energy consumption benefits the poor more than the rich. However, the middle class benefit most in some regions while poor consumers in Quebec generally benefit least
