I have a feeling the next government is going to create a lot of unnecessary, antagonizing noise outside of Alberta that will waste taxpayer dollars and do nothing to expedite the process of getting pipelines built.

The only problem with this and its now beyond our control is that various environmental groups have already pre-prepared lawsuits against the government and pipeline that they will file as soon as the Federal Government grants approval.
Unfortunately one of the decisions that the Federal Government should have made but didn't was to appeal the FAC ruling so that we could get a hard definition of what consultation means. Instead they just went back with a guess of what consultation means. I would fully expect that there will be no construction this year.
