SELFISH TUNNEL VISION OF QUEBEC'S PREMIER

   New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs remained optimistic Friday that, someday, a pipeline would be built to bring western crude oil to ports in his region for transport overseas. But the Quebec premier tried his best to kill that dream.
  Quebec Premier, Francois Legault told reporters after the closed-door meeting, "there is no social acceptability for a pipeline that would pass through Quebec territory."
  Legault saw no contradiction in lobbying premiers Friday to buy more hydroelectricity from his province while rejecting western energy.  "We are offering an energy that is not expensive and is clean," Legault said. "I am not embarrassed to refuse dirty energy while we are offering clean energy at a competitive price."
