Just want to correct this. The issue was that the new Liberal guidelines push projects to consider upstream and downstream emissions, not just their own. This means that TC would've been "responsible" (not clear on what that means economically) for the downstream emissions of combustion as well as the upstream emissions of production for every barrel in their line.
The current pledge is to offset emissions in running of the pipeline, like powering pump stations. Not the upstream and downstream emissions.
