Gateway was literally never happening though. There were 200 conditions to even get it approved, and that was under Harper. Then you had a pile of FN challenges that were preparing to run that to the Supreme Court. I understand that people hate Trudeau and want to pin this all on Justin being anti oil, but that’s the reality of the situation.
It’s like people are already discounting how much opposition there was (and added expense, trials and tribulations) get TMX built. That was a freaking expansion along an existing path, where it was far more cut and dried. Just building Gateway or other major projects is fraught with difficulties and challenges.
And…not saying this is you, but conflating this trade way with “we need new markets” as a solution is just hilarious to me. I agree we do. But, we’ll just go ahead and set that up literally tomorrow to avert the tariff impact starting Tuesday?
