For starters Cobalt , the election results on their own won't move the needle but think of this ......
Example , Keystone XL would provide how many construction jobs ? How many steel mill/fabrication jobs would that create ? How many more drill rigs , truck drivers and support staff would be employed ? How much increased income taxes , royalties and lease sale revenues would that generate ?
The economy is handicapped without cheap abundant energy , affordable products keep activity and demand high . Access to international markets would expand vendor options and aid democracy's all over the world . Canada's biggest problem has always been having only one customer (USA) , TMX will help but KeystoneXL and EnergyEast would have made Canada a powerhouse . Instead we are turning into a welfare state that can't stand on its own 2 feet .
