Politically, that was a smart move by Kenney though. Reach out with an olive branch knowing they're just going to spit in your face. Makes it easier to garner local support for the inevitable battle over both Energy East and equalization.

Interesting take. I see it as Quebec - and likely BC as well - going to dig in their heels and become more firmly resolved in their positions. I doubt any additional provinces benefiting from the current equalization scheme will want to discuss this either. But to each their own.
