Expropriation of the land for the energy corridor? Federal solution, not unconstitutional.
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.

The first two are federal issues that have nothing to do with an Alberta politician's promises to fix TMX. Kenney is not about to form an army and take land in BC. And the 3rd is very likely unconstitutional once it passes into law. It's not law yet. I can't find the quote but David Khan was saying on the radio yesterday it would just cause further delays and we would be laughed out of court trying to defend that one. And withholding transfer payments or taxes just has the smell of unconstitutionality to me. Just a hunch though.
