CODERRE DRILLS ALBERTANS A NEW ONE

ADLER:  Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre is elated at the cancellation of the Energy East pipeline, taking partial credit.
Denis Coderre’s economy in Montreal, and the Quebec economy in general, gains nothing from the demise of Energy East. No food is going into the bellies of children raised by parents who might otherwise have good-paying energy jobs in Quebec.
The only beneficiary in Quebec of this decision is Denis Coderre’s high-carb ego. He took on a big, bad energy company based in Alberta. He drilled Albertans a new one.
And when the company announced that it was the end of the trail, Denis Coderre celebrated the demise of Alberta jobs.
