Government press releases that go out a few minutes shy of midnight are done purposefully so as to not get noticed because most people with any brains are rightfully asleep.
But so it came to pass that at precisely 23:46:25 — less than 15 minutes to midnight, Eastern time — on the night of Oct. 19,,Natural Resources Minister Seamus O’Regan quietly announced the approval of the NOVA gas pipeline expansion in Alberta.
So, we’re left to guess. O’Regan, not exactly stoic, is either scared of the eco-warriors’ gnashing of teeth for approving a gas line, especially in the middle of a caribou migration route, or having to embarrassingly watch the gas and oil men showing off their muscle with a Liberal government that wants them eliminated.
