CANADIANS PAY FOR A SPINELESS PM

    Vancouver Sun:  Canada is considering several ways to reduce the financial risk for Kinder Morgan investors spooked by the uncertainty plaguing the planned Trans Mountain pipeline expansion.
     One of those options, however, is to buy a stake in the pipeline, something Notley has already said Alberta would be willing to do. Canada and Alberta could jointly buy the pipeline outright, or at least a significant stake in the project.
    Another option is to provide a guaranteed source of revenue for private investors if the pipeline completion date misses the target for when returns on their investments were supposed to start flowing.
     Political strategist Robin Sears, a principal at Earnscliffe Strategy Group, said another option would be to increase spending on the environmental protection side, including on improved research into preventing and mitigating the impacts of a diluted bitumen spill.
