Yes Kent, we're ok with a flattened economy and mass job losses so you guys can waste even more time in a committee studying these things.

I would expect that all the party members have been whipped to follow the Trudeau way.

This just feels like SSDT, Same sh^^ different Trudeau, at least last time a Trudeau tried to screw this province over we had a provincial government that basically tried to stand up to him.

Notley will probably print up a pair of cute sparkly T-Shirts and take some selfies with him when he shows up here next week, and they have a hug fest.
Well I think that you're laying it on a bit thick here. I mean the Liberals have only been in office for 3 months, and there was a lot of job loss before they were even elected.

Consult with First Nations, fine. But even six months is way too long of a consultation period, especially when you're putting their needs ahead of those that are suffering right now.

A majority of provinces are behind Energy East. In fact, even the Quebec Premier is in favour of it. Why isn't the project being grandfathered?

Because it's their agenda. They are out to kill the oil sands. Call me delusional all you want, but as far as I can see, they just gave themselves more power to kill pipelines and more power to kill train terminals. Why are they concerned with the GHG emissions of oilsands, from a pipeline context? Because they want to KILL the oil sands.

I don't want to believe it, but the writing is on the wall.

Edit: I shouldn't say they want to kill the oil sands, rather they just want to stop the industry from growing any further.

Same with the Alberta NDP.
Isn't that first line a little bit disingenuous? The pipeline wasn't going to be given the greenlight "tomorrow", as far as I understand? The delay is basically 6 months added isn't it?
