Globe editorial: Does Ottawa feel the pain in Alberta’s oil industry? GlobeDebate
This June 29, 2018 photo shows tanks at the Enbridge Energy terminal in Superior, Wis. If the Trudeau government is making a mistake in its handling of the pipeline issue, it may be that it is trying to play a game whose running time extends beyond its four-year mandate, and it is failing to see how aggravating that is to voters in Alberta.
Instead of being a light at the end of the tunnel, Line 3 is, for the moment, just another tunnel. It seems like Alberta can’t catch a break. Albertans are understandably frustrated, and much of their frustration has been directed at the Trudeau government. At times it feels like Mr. Trudeau could personally drive Alberta oil to port in Vancouver and his commitment would still be suspect.But telling exasperated voters that Alberta’s current shortage of pipeline capacity is proof that none will ever be built under an eastward-leaning Liberal government is an effective Conservative Party talking point. It’s a safe one, too, because it’s unlikely construction on the Trans Mountain expansion will start before the fall federal election.
