Personally, I was charge Canada's oil company a fee to cover clean up expenses, since almost all of the oil intended to go through to pipeline is destined overseas - it will go to the gulf, and be loaded onto ships and sold elsewhere.

Even if we consumed 100% of the pipelines oil it would amount to about 3% of our consumption. So, we take all the risk, we enjoy virtually no benefits, and Canada laughs all the way to the bank.
