True. This pipeline system is more a result of the greed of US oil buyers asserting their leverage to buy Canadian oil at a steep discount. We essentially said "Where else you gonna sell it"? Well, this is Canada's answer. Now we will pay closer to market rate. No doubt that US oil companies were funding the Canadian environmentalists and "first nation" in their lawfare to delay this project for decades.
Canada First. Good for them. Everybody first. Nobody should export jobs or the ability to fairly educate, manufacture, and feed themselves.
