Bloc Quebecois leader Yves-Francois Blanchet says it would be “absurd’ to ban energy shipments to the U.S. during the trade and tariff dispute with President Donald Trump .

Blanchet , in fact, is as hypocritically green as most Quebec politicians, rejecting oil and gas pipelines from the West while Quebec cashes a $13.6-billion annual equalization cheque.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says energy cuts should be off the table, never to be mentioned again.
