And Tom Mulcair (former NDP leader and now CTV political pundit) weighs in

What’s the issue?
Provinces control resources so if they want to spend their money to build this, go ahead.

Except the federal government 'controls' the regulation of trade and commerce.

Sure, but as long as the province and feds are in agreement, this is probably the best way forward.

Feds agree, Province builds, industry benefits.

Exactly, we are getting LNG exports, a 1 million barrel per day pipeline for export to asia. This is all win win as the biggest O&G investment in a long time.

she said it: this is how we buy them off. Be interesting and expensive to see how much the first nations cost. B.C. for 10 billion so far

This is how confederation should work.

I remember saying during energy east pipeline talk about how the Feds should pump money into bombardier in exchange for Quebec dropping opposition to energy east.

The Feds under Trudeau did neither, and energy east died and bombardier gave up trying to do anything but business jets.

Compromise and quid pro quo is how to get people working together.

my reply has been supplanted by events. I like Eby's confirmation that his government will not be joining in on any court cases. Will the First Nations on the southern route back off as well? Last time I was in VR the harbour was packed solid so my next question is: Is there adequate room for more tankers? They are seriously big ships.

I’m waiting to see if the intended investment in expanding the Roberts Bank port in Delta will include an oil terminal. They can get oceangoing carriers there, it’s already a major container port and growing still larger. I can’t see the plan being simply to jam more AFRAMAX tankers into Burrard Inlet. If the intent here is Asian markets, that necessitates an ocean terminal.

We’ll hear more from Smith in a bit over an hour but it sounds like she’s happy. Eby’s commitment not to fight this in court is excellent.
