EXPECTING A POLITICIAN TO KEEP HIS PROMISE

Two federal cabinet ministers danced around the issue of approving new oil pipelines at this week's climate conference in Ottawa, but both concede that Liberal policy decisions will upset some Canadians.
"We're not going to make everybody happy," Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr said Friday to the Canadian Climate Forum, packed with green technology advocates, environmental economists, NGOs and climate scientists.
As if on cue, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau later found himself on the receiving end of some energy-policy indignation in Hamilton, Ont., where an anti-pipeline protester showered him with pumpkin seeds, shouting, "Keep your promises!"
