However, consider that petro industries account for about 4.5% of USA GDP but account for about 9% of ours. So, anyone with an IQ more than a grapefruit will see that canada cannot acquiesce this vital sector to the Americans who laugh in our faces as we penalize our  oil+gas industry.   
  
  All those state-funded benefits you and I enjoy are the result, in large part, of the vast array of taxes generated by oil+gas.  As we embroil ourselves in Trudeau mandated structural deficits consider that $billions are being transferred to the Americans because of our country's hidebound energy policies.
