Wow - I guess if I were not a Western Canadian I would be surprised by all of this, but I lived through Jean Chretien's National Energy Program of the 70's so its no surprise to me when the Liberal Government doesn't support a West-East pipeline - the East want our oil money and shared revenue, transfer payments - they just don't want our oil. They want to buy cheaper Middle Eastern Oil shipped across the Atlantic from ISIS owned Oil wells in Libya, Iraq and don't forget those Christian loving folks in Iran. CANADA could and should be Self Sufficient in Oil - there I no need to import oil from any other Nation when we have more than we could consume right here in Canada - oh but Ontario and Quebec would have to pay a bit more - good thing we have Confederation and we are all Canadians supporting each other. Time to look at alternatives Western Canada - time to stop taking it up the you know what and where by Ontario and Quebec.
