Going East doesn't make sense in terms of private enterprise, but does make sense on terms of income added through increased activity from industry/commercial surrounding refining larger amounts in New Brunswick.
There is also a large advantage to national and economic security that holds a lot of value.
Government building the pipeline makes more sense than private. East more than west.
