Both actions are under Federal Powers. Both blocking the pipeline and blocking or tarriffing vehicles to and from BC are breaking constitutional law. You want to see Rage, put the block in place and watch the Federals come down hard on Alberta.

I doubt it would survive the lawsuit filed by those companies and the BC government.

I said that we need to up our inspection points and fine BC vehicles for everything that's the least bit fineable.
