Short term I can understand this. As a government, one wouldn’t of course want to build any long term infrastructure though. Much better to invest in renewables. I’m sure that’s the plan, right? /s

This is what you get when you elect spineless centrists.

Seeing as 96% of Canadian oil exports go to the US because no one else wants bitumen since it is the lowest quality oil and is a giant pain in the ass to refine. India and China have some capacity to refine it, but the current oil crisis is pushing those countries to find suitable replacements so they don’t have to rely on foreign affairs to keep the lights on. It will take a decade to get the infrastructure in place to get any meaningful amount of bitumen from Alberta to across the Pacific. This is just throwing whatever left remains in the Liberal party under the buss to placate Alberta oil companies.
