Why? Again, if the lower-level court grants the injunction, it's going to take an upper-level court to overturn it. The Federal government can lodge an appeal if they want to on the grounds that the pipeline is national and therefore the provincial court's decision is ultra vires, but it's still going to have to go through the appeals process.
EDIT: Offhand, does anyone know if the Harper Conservatives ever sent a reference case to the SCC regarding pipelines?
