ECO-ZEALOTS WILL NEVER BE APPEASED

  Last week, Premier Rachel Notley said her Quebec counterpart, newly elected Premier Francois Legault “needs to get off his high horse.” Of course, Legault had earned the ire of Notley and most Albertans by sneering there was “no social acceptability” in his province for a pipeline with “dirty oil” in it from Alberta.
   It was Notley who established the whole “social acceptability” standard in the first place. Her theory was that if we Albertans just taxed ourselves enough and piled up environmental regulations high enough, we would earn “social license” from politicians such as Legault to get pipelines constructed.
