Concerning western alienation over the ongoing dispute of Trans Mountain PM Trudeau said,“ I know that Canadians right across the country understand that we need to be there for each other if we’re going to succeed — that when folks are facing a tough time, whether it’s in Alberta or elsewhere, we need to support them.”
He also ruled out reviving Energy East or any other running east-west pipeline unless the private sector puts forward an idea. “It’s not up to the federal government to revive a pipeline project that, for market-based reasons, the company decided to withdraw,” he said, noting as well that on the Trans Mountain project, “we’re getting closer than we ever have before but there’s still a lot of work to do.”
Concerning Alberta Premier Rachel Notley's demand that the federal government step in with cash for rail cars to help the province transport its glut of oil to international markets PM Trudeau raises questions about why the federal government should pay for rail cars to help that industry but not pay for them for others, like farmers who are also dealing with problems getting grain and agricultural products to market.
