    Shut off oil exports to the US and send them to the EU instead.

    Although my bet is it would take less than 2 months of just shutting them off to change any policy.

      Danielle Smith, premiere of Alberta, will do no such thing.

      In fact, she will probably increase supply.

      Her and her gov are essentially maga north.

        She’ll do what the oil companies tell her to, and they’ll tell her to shut up, when they see the tax discounts it would earn them.

        In the end it’s all about the dollars, who has them, and who’s willing to spend them.

      The oil Canada exports is so dirty and difficult to refine that only Koch Industries will touch the stuff.
