Quebec lives on Alberta oil while Federal politicians stifle production

Energy for Quebec from Alberta you're welcome

Canada's power imbalances are flagrant

Notice the flow of oil from Alberta to Quebec? 

Used to be Quebec obtained a vast amount of its oil by shipments from tankers.

Quebec bought Saudi and Nigerian and Venezuelan. Not any more. Quebec now buys exclusively from Alberta shipped to Montreal from Michigan.

This is important to weigh in discussions because it means Quebec is now married to Alberta for energy security but no one acknowledges this.

In a united Canada, this would be standard operating procedure for Alberta to conduct commercial enterprise with Quebec. If the nation was governed by national interests instead of regional interests Alberta wouldn't feel separated from the proceedings of running the country and prospering in it.

Liberal  politicians from Quebec stifle production with a House of Commons vote to maintain the cap on Alberta's energy sector. 'It turns out that nobody wants to build a pipeline when the government bans you from producing the oil to put into it,' said Poilievre.
