I do find it interesting how quiet Justin has been on the nationalist file. BC and Quebec have pitted themselves against other provinces imposing their own rules. Trudeau Sr would have probably squashed that flat. Justin hasn't said a word on Federal jurisdiction and it is getting worse. At some point he will have to step in and get the provinces in line. Hopefully he will do that with the NEB review, although I have my serious doubt.

Yeah, I feel like Trudeau is still in this mode where he wants everybody to like him, which is a problem, because it'll end up that nobody likes him. Make a stand already, choose what's best for the country and move on.
It's similar to Notley. You're running the show now. Act like it, be a leader. Stop being wishy washy and playing politics because nobody gives a damn anymore. People are out of work and annoyed about irrational BS by a handful of people. It's pretty obvious what has to happen here. This pipeline is going to be approved eventually. So do it already.
I recall reading something recently, maybe it was on here, that a poll was conducted in Quebec and the results were that the people of Quebec aren't even opposed to the Energy East line... just a select few politicians trying to play politics.
