Quebec and the maritimes could produce lots of fracked gas...if they had the Alberta spirit. But they don’t, they lazily handwave about enviro concerns and let it sit there while importing gas from the states instead. Our oil and gas isn’t like the Middle East there was a lot of innovation and investment into making it work at scale, nowhere else in the world can produce oil like we do. Good thing the oil sands weren’t out east or they’d be sitting there uselessly deriving zero value and we’d all be much poorer.
