We also have to realize that blocking pipelines will not reduce the global use of oil.  Cars, trucks, planes, boats/ships, farming vehicles etc are going to run on oil for the foreseeable future not matter what AB or BC does, until clean vehicles & energy generation technology etc reaches critical mass.

It can't be understated how much the AB economy relies on oil and pipelines, and how much people in AB have been brutalized by the global drop in price in oil.  I have friends I know out of jobs, smart people, engineers etc, sitting at home who can't find work.  Stifling the pipelines only further puts salt in ABs wounds.

When a ton of jobs and incomes are on the line for people in your province, whether people like it or not, it is the AB premier's job to do everything in their power to get the oil flowing. Even if Kenney has to wage all-out trade warfare with BC or Ottawa, that's his job to do it.  It will make them realize how dependent we all are on AB and their oil.

Well if Kenney decides to go the route of cutting off the flow of gas to BC, then BC will shut off the flow of wine to Alta. Touche Mr. Kenney. From what I know of Kenney, between his corruption and far right attitude, things will be in turmoil, at least for awhile.
