I quit taking 'global warming' seriously when I read that buying 'carbon credits' was forecast to become a $3trillion industry.
The oil sands move from Alberta to refineries in Illinois & Oklahoma and to the Gulf Coast where it can be sold on the World Market. The United States already buys oil from Canada, we'd more than likely get a better deal for having the pipeline to the ports & refineries, but at the end of the day the oil is Canada's and they can sell it on the World Market if they so choose.
