Braid: Vancouver gasoline crisis is John Horgan's just reward
Premier John Horgan and his B.C. New Democrats now have their rewards – or nightmares – for two years of pipeline obstruction.Kenney has said that shortly after taking office Tuesday, cabinet will proclaim legislation giving Alberta power to cut fuel shipments to B.C.
But the only solution that would end the Lower Mainland shortage in any reasonable timeframe is construction of the Trans Mountain extension. There are signs of realism setting in. Last week, B.C. Liberal Leader Andrew Wilkinson said: “We’ve gotta make peace with Alberta. They’re our neighbors, they’re our friends.“John Horgan needs to go to Edmonton and make a deal with Alberta . . . this crazy dispute between B.C. and Alberta is totally unnecessary. John Horgan started it and John Horgan needs to end it.”
Kinder Morgan backed out. The federal Liberals bought the pipeline, then screwed up First Nations consultations so badly that the Federal Court of Appeal cancelled the permit. Some coastal folks always say Vancouver can get supply from elsewhere, such as Cherry Point in Washington State. Anything other than an expanded pipeline from Alberta.
