Bang on! Just like Canada  'needs' the latest and most expensive fighter program we can't afford! It's all about the .1%, corrupt politicians, and corporate welfare. Harper's biggest failing wasn't that he was so inept as not getting a slam dunk XL pipeline built...it was NEVER getting a fair market price for our oil in the first place. Nothing has changed, whether the price goes up or down, Canadians continue to be on the hook for ALL the environmental liabilities!
