Because the last time a Liberal PM built a pipeline it was too divisive and costly, this PM will checks notes do exactly the same thing again.

TMX 2: Electric Boogaloo!

Any bets on initial-final cost spread this time?

The expansion was supposed to be privately-funded too Kinder Morgan and all their customers were gonna pay.

Then when the Feds bought it the pipeline was supposed to be bought by private companies at a profit for Canadians.

When it got over $21.4B in costs there was supposed to be no more federal money for it.

Words are nothing but wind.

Edit: as predicted, broken promises, pipeline funded primarily by tax dollars from the Feds and Alberta. https://www.theenergymix.com/90-public-ownership-as-carney-smith-announce-new-pipeline-into-declining-global-oil-market/

Then why pay attention to any of it?
