clearly you're not a big-picture thinker! A national strategy/plan wouldn't see Canada importing oil today... it would have positioned Canada to be a leader in self-determination of it's resource base for domestic use and export intent. I expect your next false/revisionist NEP talking point will be that it caused the world-wide bursting of the oil bubble... with the resulting global oil glut plunging the world into economic recession.
A national strategy would have included an energy east pipeline. No?
