This is mostly going to be me processing yesterday's announcements in Alberta and BC. I haven't quite worked out what I think of it all yet, and maybe by the end of this I will have come to some kind of conclusion ... I'm not sure. What follows is going to be, at best, slightly ordered stream of consciousness writing.
So, what was announced? Well, basically, BC got a whole bunch of Federal funding for some major infrastructure projects with a guarantee that the Tanker Ban would remain in place; and Alberta got a commitment to build what amounts to a third line along the TransMountain pipeline route.
But that's far from the whole story here.
