Oh, 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.

At one point, he slammed the Harper government’s approach and said “the court has just confirmed that was never going to work.”& q( ]( j" W A9 V+ `8 I6 a Q6 k

Actually, the court ruled on a Trudeau government approach that was never going to work.

But the court also agrees with Trudeau on the need for rigour, it seems.

The job now is to get the project back to where it was last Wednesday, before the court ruling came down.

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

Getting back to “YES” (that is, last Wednesday) will take time and money. And nobody knows what further legal horrors might await, even after another approval.

But Trudeau paints it as a simple matter of improving consultation and looking into maritime transportation.

Trudeau also says that if Ottawa hadn’t bought the project, it would be dead today.
