I can't see it happening for political reasons, but these dudes lay out a case for the federal government taking over ownership and constructing the Northern Gateway Pipeline.

Nothing will happen to benefit Alberta unless there is a DIRECT benefit to Ontario/Quebec. I don't mean overall economic gain, I mean a direct colonial style benefit.
Maybe instead of the federales owning the pipeline, it could be owned 20% by BC, 30% by Ontario and 50% by Quebec. Then they'd get all the profits. #genius

Pipelines are inherently evil, and racist.

What were the conditions that changed that now, and not in the past, to require "DIRECT" benefit for Ontario/Quebec to buy an export pipeline?
These conditions would exist in an independent Alberta as well, so it's vital we know.
For starters, Transmountain pipeline was an existing, solvent, and cash flowing asset that couldn’t be easily shut down. Oh yea and BC would be Fubar’d without it and Trudeau wanted some seats there.
Unlike Northern Gateway, which is none of those things, and has minimal impact to the lifestyles of the lower mainland.

By asking a "why" question, you're asking me to delve into the gross, yet shallow psyche of the average Canadian.
This sounds like overall economic benefit from the past, and not the new, direct colonial style benefit that Ontario and Quebec DIRECTLY need to allow it to happen that popped up in the past three years.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

To me, it seems like Trudeau was trying to play investment banker with the public pocket book, badly.

It was bought in the past, when traditional things like future cash flows were acceptable to the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. But not anymore, for some reason.
But the article by an investment banker being paid a quarter of a million dollars a year by the Alberta government to promote energy investment saying what Trudeau did was a "model" that they need to replicate again. Who to believe?!To me, it seems like Trudeau was trying to play investment banker with the public pocket book, badly.
Sometimes I wonder whether it is your reading or your writing that is at fault.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
The fault is obviously with Ontario and Quebec, because when one can always point to Ontario and Quebec, they never have to look at any fault of their own.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
We'd be stupid as a country to not dam the Fraser river, fill it with oil and send it to the coast. If we're not allowed to ship by pipeline or rail, rivers are the next best option. Followed by airplanes, and finally just launching oil over BC with a cannon.

Nah, just chew up really long strips of paper, put in one end of the pipeline, then blow some air in it.
Pipeline becomes world record spitball. Profit.
