Amazing clairvoyance by the government in 2024 all of a sudden, I guess!!

Why are previous reviews relevant?
Province was okay with 16th-Shephard with a huge tunnel for ~4.5B
Province was okay* with 16th-Shephard with a shorter tunnel for 4.9B
Province was okay with Eau Clair-Shephard for 5.5B
*after a bunch of ####ery around then tbf
Turns out province was not okay with Eau Clair-Lynnwood for 6.3B.
But they sent a poorly considered letter and answered questions poorly in a ~72 hour period around the latest de-scope. And a month later they pulled the plug (unclear but if there was a formal process for a provincial stamp of approval or not...there was one for the Feds that we had not yet received)
The UCP ####ing sucks. But IMO they are a convenient scapegoat here.
Why do we believe that
this time the project was actually going to go ahead and be delivered on-time and on-budget?
Also, #### the UCP.
