I won’t debate the other ones but TMX should be a checkbox in Trudeau supporting oil. It may have been cheaper to just underwrite regulatory delays rather than buy the pipelines but the liberals got TMX built.

Northern Gateway also didn’t meet conditions set by the Harper government. Trudeau officially cancelled it, but it was dead in the water long before then. Kinder Morgan never even released a cost estimate of the project after the 209 conditions were put on it.
