In this case, is it at all possible that protecting $200 billion worth of exports, and not using them as a bargaining chip in a game that hasn't even started yet might just be in Alberta, AND Canadas best interest? Especially when the opponent knows its not a chip we can afford to lose.

Canada exports $440 billion worth of goods to the US each year. $125 billion of that is energy exports (not all from Alberta).
