We all need to transition to renewable energy. It's not good for Canada to become more invested in the oil economy, just as electric cars, trucks and renewables are starting to boom. It's neither good for you environmentally or economically if you have a 10+ year horizon.

So we continue prop up terrorist regimes for the next few decades.

Electric is approaching winning on its own merits. Giving billions to horrible people in the mean time is not an acceptable solution.

Oil independence is great for America and Canada. Independence “from” oil is a separate if related matter.

A half way point is to allow drilling and pipeline and add taxes to local oil and major tariffs on external oil.

We get oil independence, alternative tech will be encouraged to replace expensive oil. Only losers are people that use oil.

Isn't the US already a net exporter of oil at the moment?
