Gunter: In Alberta, of course, pipelines dominated most people’s lives in 2018 and will do so again in 2019. That’s Story No. 1.
Whether or not we can get our oil to ports (and from there to overseas markets) is huge for the entire province and especially for the hundreds of thousands of working people and their families who depend on the energy industry – rig workers, engineers, geologists, surveyors, truck drivers, lawyers, accountants, investment specialists, refinery technicians, oilfield service suppliers, welders, plumbers, electricians and on and on and on.
The second big story of 2018 is Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s clown-show tour of India. The fallout from that tour might turn out to have as profound an impact on Canadian politics as any other story this year. Millions of Canadians who admired Trudeau and his “sunny ways” saw him, finally, as the lightweight Mr. Dressup he is.
