Taking some preliminary steps now to keep future doors open is the literal exact opposite of panicking. It'd be time to panic if you didn't prepare for some crazy outcomes (no matter how unlikely in your opinion). People panic when cornered and out of options. Nobody here is panicking. Sounds like they're being rational and prudent.

Huh, seems exactly like what Albertans (and Saskers) have been saying for the last decade with respect to diversifying their markets for energy, and just getting the middle finger from the rest of the country and being told there's no reason for it.
So you're saying we have been the rational and prudent thinkers in the country over the last decade?
