The Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion (TMX) was meant to shrink the discount on Canadian oil versus U.S. crude but three months in the differential is wider than when commercial operations on the project started.

    And if we had spent the tens of billions on healthcare or housing we would have created as many or more jobs and also had something useful to show for it.

      No, it would be an ecological and humanitarian disaster.

      While Alberta’s ecosystem is barely hanging on thanks to decades of de-facto oil industry government. BCs is struggling from climate change.

      Then you have to thank Pierre Pollievre and Harper for the pipeline route that passes through at least one municipal watershed.

      But not Nestle’s watershed. They changed the route for Nestle.
