He might make Canada Great Again. Will be short term pain, but conservatives have been pushing to build more pipelines and ports for a while. They’ve been shut down because of climate concerns.

The Harper Conservatives could have built all the pipelines that were proposed but they chose instead to dither. Trudeau accomplished more with pipelines than Harper. I don’t buy the argument that it would have any different under a CP government from 2019. We would be exactly where we are today.
Not entirely climate concerns. Industry enthusiasm has been between lukewarm and cold. Different provincial governments, regulatory issues, aboriginal land claims and right of ways as well. Other than Trans Mountain 2 line (which in the end, needed the Federal Govt to take over for completion) has been little appetite for any major pipeline projects to the east or to the northwest toward Prince Rupert.
If that changes, the US can build XL but we may choose by then to sell into other more reliable and lucrative markets. In case should that happen it will be complete only after Trumpigula’s mummy has been laid to rest in its MAGAt Mausoleum on the Mall in Washington DC.

It’d mean higher prices for the US in the long term, but you can’t win them all.
You can't spell magnanimity without MAGA.

American farmers will feel it as well - as Canadians are sourcing more goods from elsewhere as a result of DJT's tariffs initiative. There's a new huge Canadian Facebook group where people are working to purchase more from Canadian sources and when that doesn't work, buy from anywhere other than the US.

Yes when we go grocery shopping we not only check the sodium and sugar level per serving but where the product is made or processed. So do our friends. There are always alternatives to made in USA. Likewise, American owned big box stores are now retail outlets of last resort for durables and hardware. People are also canceling their vacation plans to the US.
