you do realize that an east west pipeline would bring oil from Alberta to the East coast refineries. This would add a lot of high quality jobs in the East and reduce refined oil imports? Just because this might not have a large and impactful result for every single area of Canada does NOT mean that it's lacking importance for the country. If you want to put on that hat, then I strongly object to Quebec's not including hydro power revenue in their equalization payments or BC absolutely destroying their forests with clear cut logging. 

This line of thinking will result in the country falling apart.
