I was visiting with some friends over the weekend and the topic of conversation turned to that controversial issue of the Enbridge pipeline. Specifically, I mentioned how our Premier, Christy Clark, had come out publicly and said that Enbridge could not be trusted. Powerful words, I thought.
Then one of my friends advised me that the provincial government under Gordon Campbell had already signed away decision rights to the federal government and would be a go/no-go on their say so.
If this is true, then there are two other things that would be true. 1) Christy Clark already knows this, and 2) Everything she has said about the pipeline is all pure, cynical, political posturing for the optics looking ahead to the next elections... "See, I tried"...
The people of this province deserve better, but clearly we are not going to get that.
