And I find it pathetic that the government is now deciding what we should use, and what we shouldn't.
I wouldn't be surprised if the province takes this one to the Supreme Court arguing that it imposes on their rights to administer natural resources. Probably wouldn't win, but its worth a shot.

I also wonder whether or not there is a NAFTA challenge to this, since it would inherently be screwing with the free exchange of commodities.

Personally, I'm disgusted at the about face of the Conservatives. Problem is, there's no alternative for the centre-right voter in this country.
