Last week Christy Clark, the premier of British Columbia, announced that she will block Alberta's access to the Pacific Ocean unless Alberta pays an unspecified amount of money to the B.C. treasury.

Is Clark rallying the rest of the country to her side in her battle against Alberta? Is she getting other premiers to join in the Envy Games with her?

Judge for yourself.

Kathy Dunderdale, the premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, says: "I don't agree that provinces should be able to use their geographical location to hold off economic development for their sister provinces - that's not in the best interests of the country." That's one for Team Alberta.

Prince Edward Island's Robert Ghiz says if B.C. doesn't want the oil, others do: "If there is an opportunity for us to get more energy products coming from western Canada, that could only be good for us. Obviously, we do lots of refining in New Brunswick, and anything we can do on a pan-Canadian basis is good." Two to zero.

Darrell Dexter, a New Democrat who is the premier of Nova Scotia, agreed. He'll buy what Clark throws away: "Do I think we should be using our own energy resources? Obviously I do."

The biggest refinery in Canada ­- one of the biggest in North America -­ is in New Brunswick. Right now it's supplied by crude oil that's imported, including from OPEC dictatorships which costs about $25/barrel more than the Canadian stuff.

Here's David Alward, the New Brunswick premier: "New Brunswick is very open to seeing a pipeline come from Alberta to Saint John and the refinery there" and "things like the pipeline are ideas that we can look to as major opportunities to bring the country together like the railway was to the last century."

Brad Wall from Saskatchewan wants to know if Christy Clark wants to tax Saskatchewan wheat or uranium or potash, too: "This is the thin edge of a very big wedge. You can't just say ‘look, we only want to do this in the case of bitumen.' What about the rail transport of other minerals? Or perhaps ... potentially dangerous chemicals that are manufactured in other parts of Canada and shipped across?"

And then there's Bob McLeod, premier of the Northwest Territories, who is looking to increase oil and natural gas production in his territory, but obviously needs a way to get that to market: "We're not prepared to have our resources stranded and we're going to look at any option to get it out to the market."

Even traditional enemies of the oilsands can't believe how reckless Christy Clark is. Jean Charest of Quebec said, "We believe that there should be co-operation among the provinces on the issue of energy and that it's the right thing to do."

Dalton McGuinty of Ontario, who just a few months ago was blaming the oil patch for his province's have-not status, has come around. While acknowledging B.C.'s environmental concerns, he added, "It would be a mistake to escalate this beyond what it is ... I think Albertans have a genuine interest in getting their product out of the ground and exporting it," and "Ontarians understand that they have a vested interest in the continuing growth and prosperity of Alberta, just as Albertans have a vested interested in the continuing growth and prosperity of Ontarians."

One of the silver linings of Christy Clark's disgrace is that it has given other Canadian premiers a chance to shine and prove their national unity bona fides
