We have to sell them our oil. That's what the whole separation idea (as I've read it here) is built on -- selling oil and using the money from that to look after ourselves and be rich.
It's either sell it to "them" or try (hope) to sell it to the rest of the world on "their" terms using infrastructure in "their" country on "their" terms.
Do you think that if we refused to sell our oil to Canada or the US that they'd let us just pump that oil through pipelines over their land and into tankers at their ports so it can be shipped to China or India? I don't think that's going to happen.
The US and Canada could and would do whatever they damn well please to us. They aren't going to be nice to us.
