It is a highly divisive issue, but it is the wrong issue. The time for this pipeline has passed and its economic logic is evaporating. Mega projects develop great momentum and a logic all their own. This is what has happened with Trans Mountain. It would have made good sense to invest in this pipeline twenty or even ten years ago. It makes no sense today. In a few more years the project will die on its own. If built (which still seems probable) it will be a white elephant. Want to invest is a canal? The NDP provincially and nationally need to come up with a new vision for the economy. They have not yet done this, but neither have the Liberals or the CPC.
