Thank you Gary.  It won't be long before we'll be saying the same thing to Quebec when Energy East gets approved.  No one seems to appreciate the long lasting favourable economic impact of exporting our oil.  It funds a lot of our social programs, not to mention produces a lot of well paying jobs which is a much more attractive proposition economically than funding another dream-big "start-up".  Yes, "start-up" the supposed saviour of economic growth in this "new age", most of them fail because their business models are poor or barriers to entry are low and they hire a couple of under-paid programmers and a beauty-face-CEO; so much for long lasting economic benefits from those.  Oh, if you're upset about the environment?  Sorry but the oil will flow regardless.  There are plenty of other scapegoats to beat for all the GHG in the atmosphere, stop beating up on a single industry.
