I believe what they're also doing is putting this in to blackmail Alberta for a share of their energy revenues. Hey we can make this nasty old lawsuit disappear if you just pay us a percentage of every bit of oil in that dirty old pipeline.
What they're doing is trying to starve us out.
Its pretty simple.
And it looks funnier because Notley basically got on her knees to the Quebec premier when she got into office and promised to implement this ridiculous carbon tax and become an environmental savior to this province in exchange for cooperation from Quebec and Ontario. And then she got stabbed int he back by both provinces.
To be honest the minute that this lawsuit was filed, the Canadian Natural Resource Minister in Ottawa should have gotten on the phone with the Premiere of Quebec and said "Hey what the f are you doing. This is a federal review matter and has nothing to do with you idiots"

Its the same thing that happened with another Enbridge pipeline in Quebec, and that was approved. Why can't we just let things go through the process and take its course? I don't think that the constant doom and gloom is good for anyone.
