When you have ideologues running federal portfolios you have a 50% chance that they will sabotage their area of responsibility. What did everyone think would happen when an ex member of greenpeace was put in charge of decision making over energy projects. What a horrible decision that was.
I wonder how many billions of dollars our environment minister cost Canada in GDP over the last decade? Wonder if he could pay us back for it.

The time to pursue export opportunities would have been during the CPC Harper years. It should have been evident to the CPC but they were too busy being as antagonistic as possible towards First Nations - you know the folks that would need to be partners. Instead of working constructively they essentially poisoned the well going forward. I’m in no way looking to absolve a terrible Trudeau led government but these energy issues weren’t all their doing.
