The spurious notion that EE was cancelled for "business reasons" is a Liberal talking point and a lie.  Anyone with Google can quickly ascertain that the plan was always to pile regulatory bricks on the back of Trans-Canada until EE became uneconomic.
Westerners now know the truth:  The Liberals are consciously spiking potential investment and livelihoods in the west (and New Brunswick) to troll for votes in Quebec, downtown Toronto, and certain parts of B.C.  
Short term consequences will include the ousting of Rachel Notley who was naive enough to trust Justin Trudeau and his deceptive twaddle about "social licence".  And a complete wipeout of Liberal MP's in Alberta and Sask. come next election.
Westerners wanted to know how far the apple has fallen from the tree.  I guess they have their answer.
