IS PM TRUDEAU AN OIL-INDUSTRY PUPPET NOW?

   CBC:  Alberta Premier Rachel Notley says her government and the federal government have developed a financial plan that will ensure Kinder Morgan's financial risk associated with the construction of the Trans Mountain pipeline is mitigated, paving the way for the pipeline to be built.
  "Today in the meeting, one of the things that we discussed was that the federal government along with the government of Alberta has commenced discussions with Kinder Morgan to establish a financial relationship that will eliminate investor risk," Notley said after meeting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and B.C. Premier John Horgan in Ottawa today.
  "I am quite confident, that should these discussions end successfully that the pipeline will be built. And that is good because the project is in the national interest."
  Horgan left the meeting saying Trudeau intends to back up the Trans Mountain Pipeline with new legislation and funding despite B.C.'s environmental concerns.
