    What Now?

    The Alberta government is enacting a carbon tax in a large part to help get approval of new pipelines. First BC's premier Christie Clark came out against the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion and now the Mayor of Montreal and leaders of over 80 other municipalities in the Montreal area have come out against energy east. In both cases no mention was made of the Alberta government's new environmental plan. Trans Canada hoped to have the pipeline completed by 2020.

    It would appear to me Alberta's energy industry has little to be optimistic about. Any thoughts?

          I would like to see all these activists who we have representing us now in Alberta show a little civil disobedience and stop all transfers to Ottawa.

              Your forgetting CP's announcement to fire 1000 employees. Your oil and grain is so worthless even the railroad doesn't want to haul it anymore.

                  A province doesn't have the authority to stop a pipeline that is the good of the entire country.
                  PM Selfie also was against the Northern Gateway pipeline AND against tanker traffic in northern BC.
                  Notley herself wasn't a fan of Keystone XL even though that was a Obama decision, this decision is currently being appealed by Trans Canada.

                  I feel sorry for the Trudeau/Notley sunni ways going on in Alberta, the only pipeline that will be approved prior to 2019 is the equalization MONEY TRANSFER pipeline that flows from west to east.

                      Maybe should look at improving pipeline to Quebec border then put it on trains or ships for last leg.

                          How about getting a bunch of oil barges from the US... and ship direct from Thunder Bay to Halifax! Almost as cheap as a pipeline to move the crude oil by Barge...

                              A mayor disapproves. Since when does the mayor of Montreal dictate what is good for the country?

                                  Apparently the 82 municipalities who gave their opinion on the pipeline represent half of Quebecs population so not just the Mayors opinion. Quebec has received 10 billion in the last year from western Canada in transfer payments mostly from Alberta this is the thanks we get!

                                      Like I said earlier the Idiots in Quebec dump raw shit into the St Laurence back in December but that's ok. Oil on rail burns down almost a whole town that's ok. But shipping it in a pipe is wrong.
