The Rising Influence of Rising Affluence

As the WSJ article posted by Dew makes clear, the Canadians are over a barrel - the line to Cushing is beset by opposition on the U.S. side, and I haven't seen any indication that opposition within B.C. from either the general public or the First Nation (what a euphemism) bands is subsiding. The latter may be a matter of money, but I haven't seen any indication that active negotiations are under way, tho common sense suggests they must be.
