Using armed forces, potentially could be right but why is this unconstitutional? A court injunction may be imposed but I believe the feds could draw up a bill declaring this project as a national emergency and or as a critical infrastructure project in the best interests of the population and then use armed forces (only if necessary due to protests) to get it done. Pretty sure this is an option but could be wrong. Federal solution.

Sorry what is unconstitutional about creating laws in Alberta restricting flow to BC?

There are 3 options right there. I think the bigger problem is the instant no-sayers because of how things will build tension and escalate and Canadians don’t like those solutions even though sometimes they are necessary like they are now.

BC picked a fight and honestly I think they want one otherwise they wouldn’t behave how they’ve behaved or do what they’ve done.

The feds at the end of the day create laws. Laws are not imposed by some higher form on the feds. Don’t kid yourselves. There is a way to get this done it’s just not popular because all the popular options haven’t worked or aren’t being sought after in good faith.
