to bully Canada. He should watch out or it may result in a pipeline through Eastern Canada to ocean terminals in the Atlantic there. Quebecers so far have resisted a pipeline but they are nothing if not practical survivors and they'll feel sorry for Alberta. They know Trump will privatize Hydro Quebec and destroy their language laws if Trump gets ahold of Canada. It will be penury for all of us in Canada. Nothing to look forward to. Quebecers were the best Liberal supporters when Carney ran against Trump this past spring. Not much gets by them.
