Peter is correct in upcoming legal battle if the Feds do anything about natural resources.
It would likely put the country in a battle pitting Alberta, BC, vs Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec (maritimes and Sask are hard to figure where they would land).
If the Feds wanted to do anything - they could easily increase the gas tax, increase emission standards on all vehicles and commercial buildings, increase commercial income tax on NR companies etc. The problem is the oil sands and 1.05/L gas is an easy target to sell to the 405 beltline.
