@ExnerPirot@DavidStaplesYEG It depends. When weighing against national emergency and "buy Canadian " sentiment this may be the most cost effective solution. Energy security has a price too. Lastly, Feds already gave up on gas excise tax.
Instead of cutting off neighbouring Americans from energy and raw materials, Ontario and Quebec could buy more western Canadian natural gas instead of importing it from Appalachia.
Canada actually built a 14,000km pipeline to carry AB and BC natural gas to the east in the 1950s. Since 2008, eastern Canada has doubled the amount they import from US producers because it became cheaper with the shale revolution.
The TC Mainline pipeline has more capacity available and could transport more western Canadian gas, but it would raise energy costs out East. Still, a logical place to put our money where our mouth is.
@MarcNixon24 Our most important military ally is NATO. TBH , Canada and other NATO allies have shed blood for America under article 5 of Nato. The only country in the alliance to apply for assistance under that provision.
So keep your MAGA chest thumping for some other issue.
@GarnettGenuis In a parliamentary democracy is it also a must that a just elected MP has to resign so that defeated leader of opposition can maintain tax payer funded Ottawa palace?
