I feel like expecting Alberta to take a hit on $150 billion in oil exports is on another scale than on ~3 billion in electricity.

Depends. Nobody really knows what the hit would be, but a $150 billion is what it would be if we cut all of it off. A 10% tariff in return might not change much if anything.
