Q Why?
A Two big things. The first is shale oil — the U.S. will be energy independent by the end of 2016.

A Americans have a reputation for being ignorant and short-sighted, but I would be stunned if there was a single person in Congress who would think this a bad idea. If you bring Alberta into the country, the U.S. becomes technically energy independent overnight. I would expect ratification of the expansion to sail through Congress in a matter of hours.

Apparently the US is going to be energy independent in about a year and a half, but they'd be happy to scoop up Alberta to become energy independent "overnight".
So, umm, he sees this happening before the end of 2016? Or, as I might suspect, this is just a bunch of poorly thought-out bull#### that the Herald should be embarrassed to print?
