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.4 ~6 F. z3 k3 `& I

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.

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.”

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

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.
