Letter: Where’s the benefit?

Why should all Canadians pay to move Alberta oil?

Where’s the benefit?

I have to ask. I’m sure I’m not the only one with the same questions.

How does the rest of Canada benefit by the federal government taking over financially of the pipeline fiasco coming out of Alberta?

Then the federal government does a clawback from all taxpayers across Canada to recover those billions of dollars. Is our government looking after all of Canada in this situation or just the “shareholders?”

What’s in it for the other provinces, besides Alberta, who will be contributing to the massive government debt? So if Alberta has all that oil, why should they not be the ones to pay the debt? They are the ones that want to move their oil.
