So just to give us a bit more of a vivid sense of what that might look like in Ontario, for instance.

Jesse HuebschGUEST
So that would immediately mean the vast majority of pipeline imported oil would not be available.

Jesse HuebschGUEST
We could make up a certain portion of that via rail, potentially a crash reversal of the pipeline that goes from there through to Quebec, where there is some port infrastructure, where we'd start needing to import, you know, overseas oil through Quebec to backfill in, as well as heavily filling up the rail, the already very full rail lines, which would likely limit other exports or our ability to bring goods across the country from one side to the other, or Asian imports into Ontario would, you know, raise the cost of grain imports.

Jesse HuebschGUEST
It's unlikely to, you know, mean that we have an actual fuel shortage, but it would raise costs quite substantially and would potentially lead to the shutdown of one or more of the refineries that we do have, as they would have a much higher cost basis and then be competing on against refined products from entities that don't have that disadvantage.

Jesse HuebschGUEST
And, you know, in a single round prisoner's dilemma sense, it'd be worth paying a fairly substantial cost to avoid that.
