According to the article; Donald Trump now wants us to agree to building another pipeline to send Alberta’s oil to the US. After threatening tariffs and threatening our sovereignty, he now wants us to worry about building another pipeline through which we can sell America our oil at discounted prices in sole benefit of the US.

Any pipelines we build from here on our should focus on A:) getting our oil to the coast so we have reliable access to global markets now that the US has proven themselves unreliable trading partners, or partners of any kind for that matter. And B:) get our oil from Alberta to the East without it having to pass through the United States.

We need LESS dependency on the United States and more pipelines to the benefit of Chuckle Head Trump is not the way to achieve it.

Trump said the USA didn’t need Canada for anything so what’s the point of building it?

Yeah, a couple of months he was saying he didn’t need Canada’s energy. Now he wants to create more ways to get it.

We need to get it to the coast and shut it off to America. Demonstrate Trump’s idiocy to the world, but most importantly, US citizens who would end up with limited energy because Trump has zero fucking clue how badly hamstrung they actually are when it comes to getting their refined products to the areas being fed ours.

He really just needs to shut his mouth and stop talking about shit he doesn’t know anything about.

I’ll really be pissed if we go ahead with approving Keystone XL before focusing on reaching other markets. If that happens after Trump’s BS then Canada as a nation is intellectually stunted.
