We used to have that. Look up the history of PetroCan.

Created as a crown Corp by a liberal government with the intention of keepingahandleon prices, and then privatized by a conservative government (because that's what rhy do to crown corps).

and then privatized by a conservative government

If it is any consolation, said party never won again after that and eventually threw in the towel when winning even 12 seats proved to be a struggle.
