Last year Kenny came out and said that Trudeau had very little interest in pushing our Oil to markets because it would go against his environmental beliefs, it looks like he's vindicated with today's announcement. Butts was very anti-oilsands and kept bleating about Canada being able to have alternative economy by 2050 and not pushing for pipelines. He later backed off on those statements because it would hurt Justin's campaign. But Butts is no friend of this province.

The problem is of course that the Harper Conservatives didn't press anything through either. So we were really left high and dry because no one wants to do anything that might cost them vote rich Ontario and Quebec. It has less to do with liking a particular part of the country or disliking them, and more to do with trying to keep votes.
