Nope, my sense is that first of all we had made a deal with Clarke and got stabbed in the back by the new government, we'd even agreed if IIRC a financial benefit to BC.


There's a greater chance that we agree to a deal like this where we have to pull 15 billion out of our pocket and get screwed over by BC on the deal.


There has to be trust that BC would carry though on a deal.


Nobody is going to be willing to make a 15 billion dollar gamble of good faith, when all it takes is a municipality or group to not be on board with a horgan deal to completely wreck us with a massive debt.


we're talking about a 15 billion dollar anchor that Alberta doesn't need, and again, we can be held hostage over pipelines and have a worthless refinery in Alberta.


I would turn the deal around. approve the pipeline and one other and show us good faith in construction, and we'll help BC with an investment in a refinery in BC.


That way we get the pipeline through.


Nobody should be willing at all to do anything as a sign of good faith to Horgan, or do something that guarantee's his relection.
