That is a good point, but let's not forget this plan had been in the hopper for a while. Edwards also pulled the plug on Calgary after the plan was present iirc. A lot has changed quickly in the energy sector in the past few years. I agree Edwards is a possible bad actor here, but he's also an amazingly smart businessman. Pulling the plug on a cash cow isn't his style.
