The government, and it was the conservatives as well, have given an actual competitive advantage to incoming oil over our own.
Ya, my point is it sounds like with the other pipelines, EE wasn't a top priority, so they should have taken a moral stand on this one, and run the numbers for Canadians to see and have a discussion on it. I'd be fascinated to see an actual analysis, and perhaps it would sway opinions, and make it tougher for politicians to pander to their base.
