No doubt major pipelines have become a target for the discontent on climate change. That being said, the Harper government didn't do the energy industry any favours by ignoring the greenhouse gas file for 10 years while the rest of the world became increasingly concerned with it. Pretending climate change isn't a problem was perhaps his most significant political blunder, and it was almost too easy for Trudeau to score political points with his quick policy announcement last Fall that pipeline projects would undergo closer scrutiny on GHGs.
