Exporting power to the US doesn't help Canada achieve grid resiliency or Net Zero.

I don't think there is a single jurisdiction in Canada that has gotten the electricity file 'right', rather each and every one has taken different approaches to screwing it up.
There are a lot of politics involved with Hydro. To be expected with a Crown Corporation.

Also, not selling power to other provinces is strictly due to provinces not working together. That being said, Sask is buying 350MW I believe.

The Hydro mandate is to make money with exports and slowly meet future Manitoba demand. This allows our prices to stay low while at the same time being able to handle any future growth.
