Sorry Vancouver, P.M. Justin Trudeau is more worried about political consequences of Liberals foisting pipelines on Quebec than on B.C.  Thus he's willing to risk losing some BC support rather than raise ire of Quebeckers by approving an expanded Energy East pipeline through Quebec instead ( a project very unpopular with Quebeckers). Trudeau feels it's more important to gain rather than lose seats in Quebec over pipelines. . Better to sacrifice BC seats to save Quebec politically for Liberals. (Credit goes to Norman Spector for this plausible theory he voiced on CBC radio explaining Trudeau's yes-to-Kinder-Morgan decision as a cold political calculation of BC's vs. Quebec's political worth to Trudeau's Liberals).
