Just compare the efforts of "Our National Government" on Energy East with those that happen to be important to Quebec and Ontario. Listen to the howls of protest and the shrieks of support  &  $$$'s  for Bombardier, dairy & egg marketing boards/systems and auto manufacturers.  What is their common denominator... why they are based in Quebec and Ontario of course.

The poor delusional Americans trying to get concessions from Little Justin haven't quite realized that they will never give in to American pressures on these topics.  They would rather blow up NAFTA, and if necessary, blow up the country, rather than hurt all their friends and friendly voters of Quebec and Ontario. 
The writer is 100% correct...the Liberals have  destroyed the Maritimes and they are bound and determined to "put the West in it's place".

The country doesn't work   it is time to fix it or completely break it apart.
