Canada built during the fat cow years can ride the wave. Risk: too high fixed costs to run without US sucking in imports.

Take energy as an example:

US is going to try to get all its energy from inside their own country: Shale and offshore.

That because the US must export to pay for their imports like any other country. Thus the more they produce internally, the less they need to pay for with the imports' proceeds.

Imagine new gas fired power stations, replacing the electricity hydro power Quebec exports to US?

That kind of thing.
