Saying BCers admire Trump is asinine and a red herring.  What the hell does Trump have to do with anything??

The comparison is not wrong even if you dislike it. Please explain why the f-you approach that many in BC take towards Alberta is any different that the f-you approach that Trump takes towards the US trading partners? Don't bother trying to claim that the "environmental" reasons claimed are any less bogus that the "dumping" claims the the Trump administration loves. They aren't.

You also ignored the more important part: BC joined the confederation and has benefit immensely and that means it has a moral and legal obligation to reciprocate.

If BC refuses to honour the constitution we will have a situation where the federal government will be forced to resort to extraordinary measures such as freezing all of the accounts of the government of BC. Many in BC may think they can shrug off bans on wine or loss of jet fuel shipments but these actions are just to make a point. The nuclear option exists and the sane people would look for a compromise that allows the pipeline to get built instead of pushing for a crisis where the nuclear option looks viable.
