Horgan has to dance on the Green string to keep his job. You could almost feel sorry for him if he hadn’t directly caused so much economic pain in Alberta
And yet, B.C. Premier John Horgan does not relent in shilling for continued support of Andrew Weaver’s Greens.
It was a great victory for Premier Jason Kenney, who increasingly looks like a lucky politician. Former premier Rachel Notley pitched for eight long innings; Kenney strolls to the mound and gets the win.In Toronto, Kenney also pointed to a Senate committee’s decision not to accept Bill C-48, the so-called tanker ban, and another committee’s move to heavily amend impact assessment Bill C-69.Today's B.C appeal court ruling on #TMX is a clear victory for Alberta and our energy sector.
The ruling smooths the way for a new federal approval of pipeline construction on or before June 18. This is a near certainty. We can also expect, before fall, news of major First Nations’ investment in the project. Related So, this was a major win — essential, in fact, for the good of Alberta and the whole country.It says: “The ‘default’ position of the law is to prohibit the possession of all heavy oil in the Province above the Substance Threshold — an immediate and existential threat to a federal undertaking that is being expanded specifically to increase the amount of oil being transported through British Columbia.
“To be very clear,” federal Green Leader Elizabeth May has tweeted, “We do not support a single additional barrel of output, a single additional well, or off-shore exploration. No fracking. A rapid transition off fossil fuels.”
