Thats the point. He pleases people, he has perfect sound bites, when he approves energy east it will be with Quebec Steel, Pipe, Valve, and fitting Manufacutures behind him. Slap a few Union guys to sway the average workers and the tide of public opinion will slowly turn. The Harper bluster is gone and you have a much more subtle group of politicians working here.
The liberals will not donwell in Quebec if transfer payments drop which they will right around election time Albertas contribution will be recalibrated
His Campaign manager was also advising Trans Canada on how to lobby the government and the Chrétien Martin Liberals (the modern liberal party) have always been very business friendly.
