$ A1 W7 _" M# g0 nOh, so that’s it. The pipeline rejection is just a bump in the road. In fact, you could even see it as proof of just how robust the Liberal approval process is.

He said he’s “disappointed” with the ruling, mind you. He knows it “really hurt” Alberta. Ottawa will do better and meet the Federal Court of Appeal’s concerns. c+ [, G) K. r' Q: L

Now it’s nothing. The approval process even overturned a federal cabinet order. The workers will be going home, the contractors packing up.
