People need to realize that the pipeline was going to cross through Canada's most corrupt province. Quebec is essential for the party in power as it has supplied many of the country's prime ministers (the good and the bad of course). Rest assured, if seats are at risk in La Belle, the powers that be are going to cave in and minimize risk. Junior most assuredly had some private conversations with the NEB in an effort to complicate the process, and then misled the electorate by providing the scripted 'it was a business decision'. Nonsense. It's simply corrupt politicians watching their own backs. Same logic applies for directing taxpayer monies to that bottomless pit they call Bombardier: using our money to buy/protect votes.

The whole pipeline controversy is embarrassing for Canada. We truly look like imbeciles. Thanks to the snowboard instructor. Failure # 55.
