But in Alberta it is easy anyway. When it is too cold you could just
close the pipeline from the rest of Canada and keep the goodies for
yourself <grin>

Or maybe this technique only used by Ukraine? :-)

>From wikipedia:

A serious dispute started in March 2005 over the natural gas and
transit prices. During this conflict Russia claimed Ukraine was not
paying for gas, and diversing gas exported to EU from the pipelines.
Ukrainian officials at first denied the last accusation [2][3], but
later Naftohaz Ukrainy admitted it withheld some Russian gas intended
for other European countries, and used it for domestic needs.
