Doug will change his mind in 3...2...1...

Doubtful on this one. Keeping the ban in place lets him play up the "belligerent everyman/Captain Canada" image him and his base love so very much. The flip flopping is reserved for shady deals for his developer buddies that he knew were wrong and was just hoping no one would notice.

He already flip-flopped on energy going to the states, and that was months ago. Maybe if he kept his word, we wouldn't still be playing this game.

Definitely not sourced but I think there was some assumption that was because the feds told him to hold off

I'm with you on that one. Cutting off energy exports is the kind of drastic action that the feds would absolutely be in contact with him about.

Ontario didn't have to cut energy off, but they could have added extra fees to the delivery charges. We had leverage, and never made use of it.
