It's not like any of us had a say in who we sold crude to.

Well hang on here because there is a big difference between refining and egress to other markets. Let's not combine the two because they are two massively different investments from the business community.
One is horrifically underwater and makes zero sense from a business perspective while the other could have, but didn't have the support of provincial, federal governments and as well local communities specifically aboriginals. Regardless of what people say, years down the road (or possibly sooner), people are going to wish these investments happened and will regret what Canada has done to prevent them or- if not actively prevented them- resented and not helped them come to fruition.
