It would be great if we did, however I recall similar talk last fall, with one of the targets for the war being (no joke) Wisconson(?) mittens.
"One particularly tough measure has already been ruled out: imposing export quotas on Canadian oil going to the United States. Emerson, who initially supported the idea when he was a lumber industry executive, now says it would unfairly saddle the western oil producing province of Alberta with the bulk of the economic fallout."
You know what.... I'd have to say suck it up Alberta. I was just watching a report on the news yesterday talking about Alberta's $7 Billion surplus. Given that you guys already have the lowest taxes in the country, I think you can take one for the team to hit the protectionist US politicians where it hurts.
