It's small now, but it won't be. Add in more Ottawa disenfranchisement, Trump badgering, and this will grow. Fast. And we do not live in honest world, this does not need to achieve majority or go to a vote. A few pro-51 protests in the street and Trump will use this as pretext to "Liberate these poor oppressed Canadians who had their election rigged". He'll have reduced resistance to a manageable level justify military force. People need to understand what's actually happening here.

The oil pipeline to the coast will never be built with private money. Carney knows that. The Conservatives know that. That is going to be a crown corporation that builds it and it will take a decade. The question is will we need it in a decade. I think we should built one. Trans-mountain carries about 17% of Alberta's production. Add another one that can handle another 15% or twinned pipelines that carry 30%.
If what we are talking about is a 10% hit on oil exports into the US the industry can take the hit. Especially if its for 3 1/2 years and disappears with a new president.
As for Alberta and Saskatchewan. These provinces are not all about oil. They are far more diversified. Especially Saskatchewan. The public in Saskatchewan are getting tired of the SaskParty, the almost flipped to NDP last election. The next one its likely to happen. A party can only remain in power so long.
