I do understand that this is a major project that we've been trying to get built for over a decade now, so you can see why Kenney and the province felt that something had to be done here. When he signed the deal of course, the President was onside and it wasn't until the new regime where we ran into this issue.

I agree, governments shouldn't be in business, they're just completely incompetent about it.



Which means that the government should get out of subsidizing the Green Industries as well. As well as things like Casinos,Governments right now are picking winners and losers at a wicked pace, ie Casinos over airlines. Green businesses over Oil and Gas.



Kenney bobbled the ball here badly, he should have known what Biden would do based on the track record of the democrats under Obama and the Keystone.
