Professor Ian Urquhart: Alberta has long accused Ottawa of trying to destroy its oil industry. That's a dangerous myth.

Kinder Morgan owned the pipeline, the feds approved the pipeline with an insufficient indigenous approval, the courts shut it down. Kinder Morgan pulled out, the Feds bought the pipeline to prevent every oil company from losing faith in the industry.

Canada is still hamstrung by these activists, which these projects do fund our social safety net and our crazy spending, I don't think anyone can argue against that.
