But on coast-to-coast pipelines, or pipeline policy in general, I think the more informative and/or thoughtful answers he can give, the better.

Agreed. And to the other points, is he even campaigning for Alberta votes? Or is he here to appear as a national leader, but every comment is aimed back at Ontario and Quebec? If he wanted the West vote, he would commit hell or high water to getting the pipeline built as a matter of national security and to hell with any objectors, a la King Pumpkin and his coal mines. That would not play well where it matters, Ont. and Que., so he does not do it. He will have a majority before the Manitoba polls close.
