If the Trans Mountain pipeline had received a mere fraction of the support the PM has given to fighting climate change, it would not be in danger – The question is: Who has authority to decide Canadian energy policy?
Governments or Green-machine protesters?
That is the question: Which bunch will it be, Canada’s parliaments, or those who self-appoint as the green guardians of whatever place on Earth — usually in Canada — they choose to exercise their very particular kind of media-and-protest-pressure politics? Will it be government? Or Green end-of-days monomaniacs? We had an answer on Sunday when Kinder Morgan announced that the relentless harassment of its proposed pipeline has moved to the company to the very edge of outright cancellation.
And it wasn’t government.
