( I# ^4 M) X. G$ z, NOh, so that’s it. The pipeline rejection is just a bump in the road. In fact, you could even see it as proof of just how robust the Liberal approval process is.- I' a* M& J" I

That’s what a person might think, listening to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Wednesday, as he actually tried to turn this mess into an affirmation of his ideals./ O8 u) `6 g! l5 x* w1 R: r

He said he’s “disappointed” with the ruling, mind you. He knows it “really hurt” Alberta. Ottawa will do better and meet the Federal Court of Appeal’s concerns.

Premier Rachel Notley, distancing herself from her favourite ally, demands a legislative cannonade, a federal bill to reassert the former approval. She decries the “regulatory merry-go-round that isn’t going to help anybody.”4 d+ h1 ?: \2 l5 r5 k

The job now is to get the project back to where it was last Wednesday, before the court ruling came down.
