The argument for XL was that it was going to give us energy independence, or if you acknowledge that Canada is technically a foreign country, then energy security. However, if Canadian crude is just going to be exported when it reaches the Gulf coast then it provides neither, it's just a means for Canada to export their crude when they been unsuccessful in creating routes to their own coasts.
Yeah I'm not seeing a problem. Don't both countries ship sh**t through each other's ports or via their waterways now? What's the difference between a cargo ship full of Fords from Detroit going down the St.Lawrence and Canadian crude going through a pipe?
