So what's the CP consensus as to whether this thing ever gets built, NEB and cabinet approval notwithstanding.
Enbridge just came out and said it would be at least a year before any preparatory work on the route started (that puts it off to Summer, 2015 at earliest). Then the civil disobedience is bound to ramp up.
Also, we have an election in 2015 that Justin Trudeau simply cannot lose at this point. I believe him when he says he'll kill the approval, despite the billion dollar lawsuit against the government that will result. It is something his voter base desperately wants him to do.
To my mind, we will never see this thing get built.
