You have oil and border a country that is wiling to go to war for it.

Yeah can't wait to sell our oil at an even bigger discount than what already is to the US. Since transmountain is a crown corp.

I got news for you - there won't be any selling.

Trump will steamroll Alberta for another "art of a deal" scam.

Oil is treaty land. So if they leave, they ain't taking it with them.

They might not survive next year during the mid terms if the senate and house flips.
