My opinion only, but I strongly believe that so long as the Liberal's are in power, Energy East will not be approved; TMX has a better chance.
Rationale being, if you are a majority federal government you need to maintain power in Quebec. Approving EE virtually assures the Liberal government loses Quebec seats to either the NDP or the PQ (won't go to the PC's who are pro-pipelines).
B.C. is just not as large a threat to re-election for the federal Liberals, therefore approving TMX comes with less of a price.
