I didn't realize that Alberta and Saskatchewan weren't in the west. Living in a large, diversified country requires making compromises for the benefit of the whole.  The far right and the far left don't get this, as this article demonstrates. BC got Northern Gateway cancelled, but not the extension of the already existing Kinder Morgan.  Alberta  got a pipeline but agreed to carbon taxes that are higher than BC's and way way above Quebec's or Ontario's or California's.
