I think  The Globe and Mail should call a spade a spade. The project was not scrapped. You don't scrap something that you have invested many millions of dollars into. It was abandoned because the rules were change in midstream because of a federal government opposed to upsetting Quebec and appeasing all the minorities that think  fossil fuel are bad. I think the Province of Alberta should change the name and be called to the Republic of Alberta. Just maybe the province of Quebec would think they would be buying oil from a foreign country.  I would like to ask the leaders of Quebec  when  they received their last check in the billions of dollars  from a  foreign oil company who they purchase their oil from. Forget about all the previous billions of dollars they may have received. Also this project was never a Plan B.
