This goes back to my belief that Canada (the fed's and prov. gov'ts) should be promoting and investing in self-sufficiency - not encouraging foreign investment for low to no cost loans and special tax deferrals or waivers. Foreign investment takes capitol out of the country. Stabilize everything with self-sufficiency and then look beyond the borders. All these 'trade talks' are doing is raping the land of raw resources. This insane desire for profits to increase by 20 (or X) % /every/ year will just continue to spiral out of control placing communities and societies at risk.

So, an eastern route to reduce foreign oil consumption is one step in the right direction.

A more immediate way to ship oil to the Far East from Alberta may lie east, not west. Moving Western Canadian oil to the East Coast over existing rights of way holds two major benefits for Canada. First is the displacement with domestic supply of relatively expensive imports of foreign oil, some of which comes from the politically uncertain Middle East. Few Canadians realize that Eastern Canada (except Newfoundland) still relies on imported foreign oil http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/opinions/opinion/shipping-oil-to-asia-the-routes-east-not-west/article2268474/
