If the 1,147-km pipeline between Alberta and B.C. is sold at a profit, it could help woo centre-right voters across the country
To say the Liberals need a win is like saying Justin Trudeau is overexposed — stating the bloody obvious.

While polls suggest around one-quarter of voters oppose the pipeline expansion, they also indicate twice as many people across the country support it. Lack of shipping capacity sent Canadian crude prices to record lows last year and prompted a province-wide oil production cut. But it seems more likely that Trudeau will push ahead with the expansion, judging by comments he made last week when he reiterated “the need for it, and the national interest, is clear.”
