Alberta threat sets dangerous precedent

Re: “Shock & oil: Alberta premier threatens to turn off taps to B.C.,” March 9. A dangerous precedent.

If Alberta turns off the tap, that would set a precedent, allowing B.C. to do the same when oil shipments to overseas markets are in full swing.

If Alberta Premier Rachel Notley cuts off our supply of oil, B.C. would suffer in the short term, but Alberta would suffer in the long term if we cut off their access to overseas shipments.
