Specifically it's TransCanada the company.


I was thinking more along the lines of taxes and the boost to the economy from Canada's standpoint.

Is this volume of oil being shipped from Canada being limited at all for the lack of the Keystone Pipeline? Or would the bph through the pipeline be roughly what they're shipping via rail right now with just cheaper transportation costs?

IDK. Those are kind of nuanced questions that will take a little research.

Production capacity could be limited by downstream bottlenecks however I just don't know if that's an issue or not.

With that said, pipeline companies usually build a pipeline to fill it. If all the transportation capacity won't be used by the tar sand producers the available space will be allocated to another committed customer prior to building the pipeline.
