Yes, Berkshire should be allowed to buy Altalink. In fact, Albertans should be extatic that Berkshire wants to invest here. This province needs hundreds of billions of dollars of capital for development which means it must come from international sources.
I couldn't think of anyone better. They take a pretty hands off approach and have no need for cash to be dividended off. They simply want it reinvested in the company so they can one day sell it for more than they bought it for.
This whole campaign against the sale is probably fueled by the Southern family hoping that they instead can snap it up.
