Sounds like the deal includes dropping the alcohol boycott, and building the keystone xl, a massive crude oil pipeline that gives Canada basically nothing given that the refining and final sale are done by US companies.

That's the way Alberta wants it. A few oxy addicts in a backhoe feeding US industry. Every boom cycle they just grab the money and refuse to invest in local infrastructure. Keystone will never get built, it's been on and off for over 12 years.

To me, that's what's tragic. I'm sure we have contract deals we must honor, but once those are up, we should tear down the pipeline and build our own refinery. Hell, start building the refinery now so it's ready when the pipeline contract dies.

In the mean time, if they want to negotiate for more of our oil, tell them right where to go.
