They want to financially destroy Alberta.
Perhaps instead they could build a pipeline from Alberta to Montana ...
bummer for them.
must be those Americans that left because Trump was elected.
Sounds like an example of economic terrorism.
Okay, maybe just punishing the opposition a la 0bama.

1. Surging oil supply in the U.S. makes Canadian tar sands extraction less attractive.
2. From what I understand, tar sands operations have never returned to their peak since the devastation of the Fort McMurray wildfires in 2016.
3. The Canadian government DID approve the Enbridge pipeline project between Alberta and Wisconsin within the last year or two -- for whatever that's worth.
4. The oil won't stop flowing as long as the demand is there. If pipeline projects are being canceled, then buy CP Rail and Canadian National Railways stock!
As an employee of Kinder Morgan, we have been watching this a long time. The observation that Alberta is being locked in with nowhere to go with its production is right on. This is a pipeline EXPANSION along an already existing pipeline, so the only problem is in Vancouver where they don’t want even more tankers showing up. Just like the case of California, I say let’s shut off oil and gas to both California and to BC.
Screw BC and the Chinese.
Send the oil south.
It’s about North American energy security.
That argument alone should set the leftists of BC on fire.

No surprise here.
We should trade ME-NY-VT-NH-DE-NJ to Canada in exchange for Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan
Sums this situation up nicely.
Most people don’t know that Western Canada almost became part of the U.S. in the early days. Finally the trans Canada railroad was built to keep them in Canada. I would say the majority in Western Canada would vote to join the U.S. today given the chance.
