No need to exaggerate. Most of the entire oil sands operations have been put into place in less than ten years. It doesn't take ten years to build additional pipelines a few hundred miles to those ports north of Vancouver.

"Enbridge has floated plans for the construction of the 720-mile, 400,000-bbl/d Gateway pipeline from Edmonton to Kitimat, a deepwater port in British Columbia capable of supporting very large crude carriers (VLCC). The Gateway pipeline would facilitate the export of oil sands to Asia and California. Kinder Morgan has discussed plans to build a similar pipeline or upgrade the capacity of the TMPL."

But there is no point in arguing about this because the United States, stupid as many of our policies may be, is not about to try to cut itself off from whatever Canadian imports it can get.
