Well it's a start. I am happy to see that oil is going to get going to the coast, one way or another. Glad to see them burning some political capital on this and despite the fact some people will hate the decision, it's the right one.

I hope they approve Energy East when the time comes, but at least its a victory today.

^I feel like he's more willing to piss off British Columbians than Montrealers. Here's his answer on EE... non-answer.

Oooh, "social license"! Where's ACGold with the Buzzword conversation?

The answer to that was so obvious too and he didn't take it.

"The narrative is that this is choosing Alberta over BC, if you accept that ... blah blah blah"

"I don't accept that narrative"

I don't know how this could happen though...don't the Liberals hate Alberta and hate oil?

It was so blatantly obvious to anyone who took off their partisan goggles for even thirty seconds that this was going to be the end result. I wonder if some of the more vocal CPC supporters here will actually chow down on their helpings of crow or if they'll still find a way to spin this into the same old narrative.

Good it was the right decision and 2/3 ain't bad.

Nice job today by the government and a tough day for a chunk of their voter base.

Wow. Trudeau saying the Notley environment plan was part of why this was approved.

So if we get a new government in 2019 and they repeal some of these things that Notley is being praised for, and the pipelines are built, what happens?

Fixed. You're going to have a hard time finding a bunch of staunch Liberal supporters that were heavily against all pipelines.

Just got asked this question and didn't answer it directly. His implication appeared to be, "hey Alberta, see what happens when you have an NDP government? Vote them back in please."

Well, Trudeau does more to help Alberta in one year than the CPC does in over a decade... But he still obviously hates Alberta.

So, there is one major Canadian pipeline company left out in this announcement. Hopefully the government isn't out to pick favorites, and approves EE.
