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.5 {$ ~$ S/ V' K; W

That’s what a person might think, listening to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Wednesday, as he actually tried to turn this mess into an affirmation of his ideals.

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

Premier Rachel Notley, distancing herself from her favourite ally, demands a legislative cannonade, a federal bill to reassert the former approval. She decries the “regulatory merry-go-round that isn’t going to help anybody.”" @ B* U1 L2 _/ e$ l

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