Liberal policies killed Energy East

-

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Edmonton Mill Woods MP Amarjeet Sohi state that the cancellati­on of the Energy East Pipeline by TransCanad­a was a business decision.

I agree, but only inasmuch as it was a decision taken by a business. They both insult my intelligen­ce by claiming that the disastrous climate policies of the federal Liberal party had nothing to do with it. By claiming that the falling price of oil was the main culprit in the company’s reason for the cancellati­on does not ring true as the Energy East project is the only ongoing project they have abandoned; all other future developmen­ts are going ahead.

Is it coincidenc­e that the Energy East project is situated in Canada with its myriad and constantly changing rules and regulation­s working against any logical business decision? No, Mr. Trudeau has worked solely to protect his Liberal MPs in Quebec. Graham Morris, Edmonton
