If Quebec has a right to stop Energy East then every other province has the right to stop transportation of another province's products. Mayors of some cities such as Montreal believe that they have the right to stop transportation from other parts of Canada. Many aboriginal groups believe that they have the right to stop transportation through their ancestral lands. BC succeeded in extorting a toll for transportation of Alberta products. If all of these prevail, Confederation will have been for nothing.  Canada will cease to exist and our country will degenerate into a multitude of petty squabbling jurisdictions and special interest groups. 2017 is 150th anniversary of Confederation.  Will our politicians have the courage to stand for Canada?
