I agree, if we want to start an inter-provincial trade war there will be no winners. Provinces shouldn't be allowed to block another province from reaching their target market. Especially when BC is happy to build pipelines in the same corridor if they are carrying a local product.
I don't know for sure though, but didn't Quebec block Newfoundland from running their electricity through Quebec to the US market by saying that the only option was for Newfoundland to sell the power to Quebec for transmission to the US?
