if the federal government can buy/build a pipeline then maybe Alberta can too?I was only answering what you actually said, not speaking to hypotheticals.
If it is in fact ‘known, needed, and profitable’, then the Alberta government, which seems keen to champion this, should have no difficulty finding the needed private sector partners.
It’s unfortunate that bad government policy to this point has prevented more infrastructure from going in, and the reticence of industry to jump at it is understandable. For the feds to make decisions on a project, however, there will have to actually be a project to decide on. I’d be happy to see either private industry, or a public-private partnership bring one to the table.
There are I think expansion efforts to TM that can be done short of building another pipeline.
