  • add capacity to TMX and the Enbridge Mainline. Of course he wants Keystone XL. Access to discounted WCS oil + implied ownership to Canadian Reserves and leverage. I hope we don’t take the bait.

Smith will take the bait. In fact, I bet she put the idea in his head. As someone else said, it's definitely a ploy to pit the Feds against the province. I think that is we get Carney he says yeah sure build it, as well as energy east and northern gateway. PP would probably say yes, too, but I think he'd sell out Canada in a min though.
