Line 3 replacement also received final approval under JT.
Anyone who wants to push the narrative that JT is so hostile to the Alberta oil and gas sector needs to answer why it is that more oil egress has been approved/actually started construction under JT than Harper.
You also make a great point about the well clean up. That was a direct subsidy for oil and gas companies during a significant downturn, clearly something only an anti Alberta zealot would do.

TM final approval was due to timing to be under Justin, can't fix that - and I stand by he did it the crappiest way possible. Sorry, I don't give him much credit on that one other then its proof he isn't hostile to Alberta oil - which isn't worth any credit for a PM of Canada
For that reason, and my previous listed reasons I still give Harper the edge in pipelines.
