She's a bit of a moron. I mean, even objectively, she comes off as a silly fool.

Fantastic news, at least for the time being! Some think this is the beginning of Kinder Morgan's exit strategy from the project. I certainly hope so. I've often said that I didn't think the protests would actually work, because oil always wins.... I'm hoping this development is the first sign of me being proven wrong.

The AB premier has already threatened British Columbians again, lol. She's upset about Kinder Morgan's announcement so says that she's going to get revenge on BCers through sanctions. She's such an idiot, seriously.

I've meet Notley. She is most definitely not an idiot, moron or a silly fool.

Well she's got us all fooled!

She sounds like Trump! Is BC going to pay for it too?

Yeah sure... maybe. But only if Kinder Morgan decides it's worth their while, and right now they obviously aren't sure about that at all. Nothing Trudeau can do about that. BTW, he's so full of crap with that "caring about the environment and the economy at the same time" line. It just doesn't work when he's talking about the KM pipeline - he should stop throwing it out there. We all know he's put the pipeline before the environment in this case; he may as well just own it so he can at least sound honest.

Maybe...

... he just wasn't ready.

Oh well. He was worth a flyer- better than Harper for sure.

Well no, I think he was completely ready (and hell yes, he's light years better than Harper)... Man do I ever hate that campaign, lol The "he's just not ready but nice hair" thing was the most ridiculous campaign I've ever seen, lol, especially since it came from a guy who was no more qualified when he took office. Trudeau never pretended he wasn't going to support the KM pipeline, so anyone who expects him to be against it now is just not even caring about reality. Him supporting it isn't what annoys me. He just needs to stop trying to pad that fact with being super green in the same breath. But hey, that's me, as someone against the KM pipeline. I suppose that bullshitty line actually does work for people who support it.

Well big surprise that it makes a difference what side of the border you're on. So that makes it very subjective, not objective.

To some degree, but her recent tweets lend support to the notion that she's an idiot.

Yeah, but it's funny how people to the right of that border really didn't like her at all until she started acting like a big baby and blabbing about "retaliation" against BC's citizens.

I'm not on twitter. What tweets?

PJ_Soul

I only saw one tweet, and it said something like "Let me be clear - they cannot mess with Alberta."
Seems pretty fucking moronic to me. And she seems to think BC is doing it just to screw over AB, lol. Of course, she couldn't care less what our extremely important concerns are. She sees it not as two opposing sides with valid issues, but as an "us vs them" issue, like anti-KMers are just being bullies (how ironic), and also apparently thinks that anyone against the pipeline has no valid argument, which is a bit mystifying to me.
Oh, btw, she also tweeted that Alberta would pay for the project with tax payer's money if it was necessary, i.e. if KM pulled out ... KM said the expenses are in the ballpark of $300,000,000/MONTH, and that's now, after the initial investments, in a non-renewable, non-sustainable industry .... I hope Albertans aren't so gung ho about this fight that this seems like an idea that deserves no consultation with the people of the province, SMH. Now provincial governments are becoming pipeline companies? Wtf?

Rachel Notley says Ottawa can use 'economic pressure' against B.C. over Trans Mountain delay

Kinder Morgan said Sunday it is suspending non-essential spending on the controversial project

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/pipeline-alberta-legislature-notley-rachel-premier-1.4611291

Everything I read in this article from Notley sounds completely reasonable and plays well in Alberta, where she is up for re-election very soon.
