Deal with people that get sh*t done and leave it to them to get it done.
I am sorry, but none of this makes sense. Governments are involved when crossing a border. Full stop. To say “no problem” to no pipeline in the US is ignoring the problem to solve. We need pipelines to access other markets. We have some to the US. We need more to tidewater.

To avoid US politics, we need to avoid the US. That leaves us with building more pipe in Canada. I guess your answer is it “grease some palms”, but that seems to have been rather ineffective in Canada for some time. That is a lot of palms.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
