That and Canadian oil sells at a discount. Cut off the largest foreign oil supply and replace it with domestic oil that sells at full price, all while every trader knows you are buying up all the excess oil to refill the strategic reserve, and hooo boy are gas prices going to go up.
It is a political statement when the problem is framed as one of market access.
The problem is not market access. The problem is that WCS is very high density and very high sulphur content. Those result in it always selling at a severe discount to WTI.

What’s a conservative talking point? That WCS sells for less than WTI? That’s not at all a political statement, that’s just a fact.
