I don't understand. The BC NDP, who decide to reject literally everything logical if it means gaining a slight bit of political capital, have unequivocally rejected the pipeline, as you even said.
To claim there is no point in negotiating with British Columbia is ludicrous and asinine. Clark is acting is desperate (she stayed silent on the issue for months, and then came out a few days ago screaming), but there is obviously leeway. Again, as I said, there is too much to lose for Clark to not accept the pipeline eventually.
Seriously, Clark only came to a decision a week ago, put out some outrageous demands that have been sensationalized by the media, and you want to shut the door? That's laughable, to be honest, and I don't mean to be rude, but come on. That's a knee-jerk reaction at best.
