Depending on other nations to refine our oil leaves us vulnerable. Which is why if we nationalize and refine most of our own oil, it would allow us to keep profits within the Canadian economy. So trade isn’t always a positive.

    We can build a pipeline a lot faster than we can build refineries. By all means do both, but the refineries won't be online for many years after we're already selling the unrefined stuff.
