It's the old story. We ship oil to the United States, and then we buy it back. There's a premium paid on it, so we're poorer as a country because the Liberals changed the regulation to kill energy east.
I'll shift to the international side. How could it have affected international relations given issues like the energy crisis in Europe? Would energy east have strengthened our position in the free world? Anyone?
I'll switch projects. Another pipeline that was killed because of a regulation fully paid for by the private sector was northern gateway. Has a calculation ever been done on what northern gateway would have added to our economy if it had been completed?
