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./ c+ T. @* f0 X3 E5 v0 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.9 f' R6 |1 A5 E l, W

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.9 U# `' r( p* L; Q

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.”& a( D6 O2 z: r0 _# L( h7 D

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