Alberta has pipelines directly to the US. The US is the main export market and whole refineries exist that are tuned to this type of crude. Ownership is something that would have to be handled, but they can get crude to the states without crossing provincial borders.
Well yes, but actually no. All they have to do is increase the capacity of their 3 direct lines by a factor of 10. I can only assume there’s no fucking reason they pipe it halfway across the continent, and I have to believe that replacing that massive pipeline will take neither money nor time.
Sure, but I was responding to the comment about being landlocked. As much of an undertaking it would be to build that capacity, it’s not negotiating access through other countries.
