The federal Liberal government intends to play Western Canadians for fools – again.
Between now and the end of the Parliamentary session later this month, the Trudeau government will approve the Trans Mountain pipeline for a second time. And then while the country is mesmerized by that, the Liberals will ban the shipping of Alberta oil by tanker from ports on the northern B.C. coast and pass an impossible new environmental assessment bill.
In effect, the Trudeau government intends to give us one small-ish new pipeline, then slam the door shut on all possible future ones.
And the Libs are thinking we’re dumb enough to be deceived by their sleight-of-hand.
Or maybe the Liberals know Westerners won’t buy this container of garbage labelled as “plastics for recycling.” Maybe it’s just Central Canadians the Liberals are convinced will eagerly take delivery of this load of rubbish – “Look what a great job Justin is doing, respecting the environment while also recognizing the need for economic development.”
Still, there is a very good chance not one metre of the Trans Mountain expansion ever gets built, while it is absolutely certain that if Bills C-48 (the tanker ban) and C-69 (the new assessment law) get passed, no additional pipelines will ever get built to a coastal port.
The Liberals are cynical plotters. They know the moment they approve Trans Mountain, well-funded environmental groups, backed by foreign money, will go to court for injunctions against construction.
