I guess, until the next election, I can live with Notley and her carbon tax, if it gets us the pipelines we need. Sure the carbon tax is a boondoggled debacle, and it's implementation deserves much more careful consideration as to the overall consequences. However I believe, in the long run, the importance of pipelines to our economy is more important than a carbon tax.

IMO, if by temporarily hopping on the "environmental activist bandwagon" to appease a significant number of Canadian voters, concerned about saving the planet, gets us the pipelines we need, then I think Notley has succeeded where previous governments have failed.

I guess only time will tell whether Trudeau has what it takes to make the pipelines a reality.
