Since his election in 2015, Trudeau has tried to have it both ways on climate change and energy. Playing it down the middle isn’t working

The Supreme Court summarily struck down British Columbia’s clumsy attempt to block completion of the Trans Mountain Expansion Project , declaring what everyone already knew: the B.C. legislation violated federal jurisdiction over interprovincial trade and commerce.

The Minnesota Public Utilities Commission ruled Enbridge’s proposed Line 3 replacement had met all legal requirements to proceed, echoing the Nebraska Supreme Court’s approval last fall of Keystone XL pipeline’s route through that state, ending a decade-long permitting battle. This 70 per cent cost over-run confirms to TMX’s opponents that their death-by-delay “lawfare” is working. Even worse, it confirms to international investors that Canadian energy projects have become risky business.

Since his election in 2015, Trudeau has tried to have it both ways on climate change and energy. He led the international climate crusade by going to Paris and promising 30 per cent reductions by 2030 and net zero emissions by 2050. He shut down Northern Gateway, allowed Quebec to block Energy East and enacted bills C-69 and C-48 . On the other hand, he did buy TMX when Kinder Morgan finally gave up and he has also supported completion of Keystone XL and Enbridge Line 3 to U.S. markets.

On the other side, Alberta Premier Jason Kenney and Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe say that on climate policy they will not accept a double standard of one rule for Quebec cement plants but a different rule for Western energy projects. A rejection or even a delay in signing off on Teck Frontier will be considered proof positive that the Trudeau Liberals are willing to sacrifice the jobs of Western Canadians to win votes in Ontario and Quebec.

It's not just his nightmare.

Nightmare? No. There is no question about it. The health of the this country is and always was and always shall be the priority. Anything less and whomever is the PM should not be in that position.

Trudumb doesn’t HAVE nightmares - he IS a nightmare

He’s done as our PM !

ginnyb3 He has already chosen the climate activists His political platform was based on this That is why we pay CO2 tax

JustinTrudeau is Canada’s fucking NIGHTMARE!!

Too bad he chose to be a pedophile

Atkins1S I think he has a climate change going on his face. Save yourself, J!!!

Giving him far too much credit. He's been pitting one region against another since before he took office. Tearing the country apart is his wet dream. It's no 'nightmare' for him to choose. He chose years ago.

No Canada's nightmare continues into the 5th year with the leaderless UnPM

And we all know which one he’ll choose.

What does Dwight Ball and Justin Trudeau have in common ? They can’t make a decision

He will do what ever Soros tells him to do. TrudeauMustGo

If we all secede and form other countries he can be the prime minister of downtown Toronto, they can be as carbon neutral as they want when they freeze in the dark.

He will choose what George tells him to choose.

There can only be one!

I don't see the pro-hydrocarbon stance as a particularly unifying option

It’s a ploy .... wait!!!!..... war measures act!!! Just like daddy

Canada heaven for cheaters/looters for Pakistani cheater women. Cheat,Fool,abduct kids,and flee to Canada. Canada welcome u.Abductor gets $ 800.kid 700 PM. Enjoy life as Canada stands with Criminals. Canada give citizenship & protect u. Canada do not care 4 international law.

And he expected what exactly......?

We all know what he will choose.....and it’s not unity.

One can only fake it till you make it for so long

Finally this goof is exposed for the fraud he is. TrudeauMustGo wordsalad

Stupid is as stupid did

Who...🤡’ndeau? He’d be lucky if he could decide what to wear, between his red and red tinged Pantharella sox! 😴

To the eco-terrorists please do not punish ordinary Canadians , punish the guy who created this mess , go to Trudeau’s home and block him until he is fair to all Canadians.

Has the question been asked... has PM Trudeau's personal/family companies now been financially impacted by the blockades

you reap what you sow

Haha. Now he’s in the hot seat. Good.

Trudeau is the nightmare.

TrudeauNotFitForOffice

He made choice long ago. Canada isn’t even on his list.

Good. Time to throw down the cards for all sides, it seems.

Trudeau is to simple to realize that he’s created his own nightmare.

Have a feeling that he is behind this mess. It fits his narrative perfectly. TrudeauNotFitForOffice

The cost of this rail disruption will be felt for years to come as non delivery allows foreign governments to void or renegotiate contracts which could easily go to the USA or Russia. Justin hates Canada almost as much as he hates Conservatives.

I’m not sure Albertans would settle for enhanced powers of tax collection and CPP. The passion against the east is palpable I believe the notion of separation is very real should Teck be rejected or delayed. I think Kenney himself would be in political trouble with anything less

He created this mess! now under him Canada will be a social welfare state with 0 Foreign investment, no jobs and a lot of angry people.

Gov and Media will try to convince you that this is economy vs. environment. This is not. This is about saying 'NO' to colonization and genocide. Also, when they say 'economy,' they don't mean it'll help YOUR finances. It'll make you poorer. Wetsuwetenstrong Shutdowncanada

Leaderships a bitch isn’t it!

Nobody puts baby ... er I meanJustin in a corner 😂😂 TrudeauNotFitForOffice TrudeauWorstPM

Trudeau is a woke virtue signalling activist himself, he will always go the way of the cuck.

When there is PM created smoke, he mirrors creating jobs.

If his past history is any indication, he’ll likely go with a “solution” that puts Canadians out of work, drives away investment, cripples our economy, and divides the nation all while referring to anyone that disagrees as racist nazis. TrudeauNotFitForOffice

Canada's nightmare came true last October, when this idiot was re-elected. TrudeaMustGo

You sure his handlers didn't plan all this? Don't think he's picking national unity

Matt Gurney: Indigenous leaders understand the dangers of this moment. Does Trudeau?If Trudeau thinks he’s in a tough spot now, wait until millions of normally placid Canadians start demanding police clear the blockades, reconciliation be damned It don't matter FN’s need to get their ‘leadership’ sorted out. Elected chiefs should speak for their people (it’s 2020) not heriterary chiefs (with all due respect). It would be like the Queen of England overriding their Parliamnent. Just can’t have two leadership groups on opposite sides! Trudeau certainly doesn’t understand hypocrisy, democracy or the law.
