Why don’t the Canadians run the pipe west and ship to Japan and China?
If you were Canada, why would you want it to lose money to send it to China when all you have to do is ship it across the border?
An even better question for Canada, considering how long it has taken for this one issue, is why not commission the construction of refineries there? I’m sure they would have if they knew this SOB was going to nickel and dime them along the whole way beforehand but this Administration has been carrying that carrot on it’s stick the whole way. Kinda like that State Farm commercial with the fisherman dangling that dollar bill on the fishing line.

The pipeline goes to Houston to the refineries there to process the oil into its various parts. The building of the pipeline is a cash cow from where it starts all along the way through the various states until it gets to Houston.
