Hopefully there’s a positive feedback loop whereby industry becomes more willing to invest in the preparatory work needed to generate major proposals.

Iterative MOUs asymptotically approaching the tanker ban repeal.

Or will they surprise and cut a corridor?
 
Earlier I said I was reduced to hoping that Carney was just venial and not an idealogue, committed to his career and not his professed belefs.

Now I find myself wondering how long he is going to keep throwing fish to his trained seals from BC and Quebec before he feels secure enough in his job to let the public in on his Alberta intentions.
