Federal government announces new rules for assessing oil pipelines
I always figured that Trudeau would do this, he's going to sacrifice one region to show off that he's the great environmentalist leader
Putting out a new process, that basically says, its kinda the same as the old one, but we're going to do it slower is asinine.
As a province we're getting hit on all sides now.
Time for Alberta to buy every rail car, semi truck tanker, pickup trucks with garbage bag liners and horse drawn wagons and get to market the old fashion way.
He pretty much killed anything going west in his first week of government with his mandate letter on suspending tankers. Now hes effectively killed anything happening going East until after the next election.
Looks like he's going to continue his old man's vindictive policies. But good for him supposedly lecturing DiCaprio.
I would expect that even more people are going to lose work because of this announcement.
Hopefully there will be enough in the equalization fund when this province slides into have not territory.

The new regulations don't even seem to deal with the issues stated by BC and Quebec, which is emergency spill response.
I'm glad that we went from a two tiered citizenship system under Harper, to a new two tiered citizenship under Trudeau. First Nations are now put on a pedestal. They want equality, but the left is pushing things so far to the extreme that it's becoming unequal.
The worst part is that they say they're going to consider upstream emissions.
Will they consider the emissions associated with importing Algerian/Venezuelan/Saudi oil? No, that would be inconvenient to their agenda.
Canada thinks it has to has to be sorry for producing oil for the rest of the world to use. It's insanity, and no other country in the world is acting this way, especially the US, who have stated that they are not sorry.

Low price of oil, and now a stunning inability for it to get to market.
Yup, we're going to be a haven for investors in the energy sector.
Nothing from our premiere
Brian Jean - Pipelines better than rail on GHG emissions, further delays on approval only hurts Alberta’s economy #ableg#NEB
At some point, our Anti-Pipeline, anti-energy Premiere needs to get off of her a$$ and at least act like she gives two sh%%s about this province's economic issues.
Or is she going to mumble more Pembina BS and watch Brad Wall defend our primary industry.

Hydro is such a beautiful form of energy from an Energy Return on Investment perspective. Mankind has to expend little energy to harvest such a massive amount of energy because natural weather patterns generate all that stored potential energy for free (precipitation on a dam's upstream watershed).
We all said crazy stuff during our respective Pirate phases.
I doubt his view point has changed that much.
He basically sided with the mayor of Montreal, and then released an ridiculous policy change that is merely, we're going to take more time, talk to some dudes.

It really is disappointing that no federal parties are willing to spend the political capital to get these projects going sooner rather than later. We can't expect projects like Keystone XL to get approval south of the border when we can't get things approved here though.
Funny how some people criticized me when I said there was no chance I would consider voting for Trudeau until he demonstrated, via action, that he cared one whit about Albertans. Right there, you see why. Like his father, his political allegiance lies with central Canada, and everyone else can get bent.
