    The pipeline is horrible news.

    It ties our oil to US refineries. We need to take back our oil fields and rebuild our refineries.

      We’ve always been tied to Texas refineries because Alberta hates long term planning and infrastructure investment.

        Not true.

        Prior to Brian Mulroney and NAFTA, Alberta did not need to send basically all of its oil to the US for refinement. Vancouver used to have five refineries, all but one were shuttered thanks to him and NAFTA. The one that remains is the smallest of the set.

        Its why the original transmountain pipeline was built to handle multiple products in both directions

    The Art of the Deal!!! Honestly, if you could get over Trump’s smell, I bet he’d be fun to play poker against.
