The Liberals also approved lng projects on the west coast that are ongoing and starting up. The fallacy your party puts out that they're against "berta" energy is laughable. And I'm Albertan, born and raised and work in the industry. the company i work at has grown every year since I've been there.

Since 2015, Canada has had $670 B in cancelled resource projects, typically due to regulatory delays, including multiple LNG terminals on the Atlantic & Pacific coasts and expansion of Repsol’s LNG terminal in Saint John. Meanwhile other countries (Qatar, US, Germany) moved rapidly forward on LNG.

There was literally no business case for lng in Europe untill recently. I wonder what happened in Europe since then. Hmm. Hard to know right.

There was a tanker moratorium since 1978 they made it law. They built us a pipeline to tidewater unlike your parties actual leader Harper.

They had to build TMX because they put so many roadblocks in place that private sector - which was perfectly willing to invest in it - finally threw up their hands and walked away. The government sponsored project cost five times the original price. This is not a hallmark of good govt management.

Yiu mean they followed the actual set down procedures to get pipelines built. The reason they were delayed or canceled is because Harper didn't follow consultations.
