The lie that is being told is that we can't actually increase our world wide export capabilities to countries other than the US, when in reality we just haven't been serious about it. Its also clear that people like Cliff have been duped by decades of US disinformation campaigns that have convinced the Canadian public that we should be completely dependent on the US to export our oil, gas, minerals, etc. Well duh, we know that isn't actually true, but I also used to think Cliff had more common sense about those things and turns out I was wrong, so it doesn't even matter what is true and what isn't anymore.

We rely on the U.S. for our exports because that’s what the market dictates. If we want to reduce that reliance, it will require state incentives in the form of subsidies and infrastructure. So more government.
Sure seems like you and Cliff agree to me. You're saying 'we haven't been serious about it', he's saying 'it will require state incentives'. Isn't that the same thing?
