Don Braid: After humiliating court defeat, B.C. Premier John Horgan blusters on

And yet, B.C. Premier John Horgan does not relent in shilling for continued support of Andrew Weaver’s Greens.

It was a great victory for Premier Jason Kenney, who increasingly looks like a lucky politician. Former premier Rachel Notley pitched for eight long innings; Kenney strolls to the mound and gets the win.In Toronto, Kenney also pointed to a Senate committee’s decision not to accept Bill C-48, the so-called tanker ban, and another committee’s move to heavily amend impact assessment Bill C-69.Today's B.C appeal court ruling on #TMX is a clear victory for Alberta and our energy sector.

The ruling smooths the way for a new federal approval of pipeline construction on or before June 18. This is a near certainty. We can also expect, before fall, news of major First Nations’ investment in the project. Related So, this was a major win — essential, in fact, for the good of Alberta and the whole country.It says: “The ‘default’ position of the law is to prohibit the possession of all heavy oil in the Province above the Substance Threshold — an immediate and existential threat to a federal undertaking that is being expanded specifically to increase the amount of oil being transported through British Columbia.

“To be very clear,” federal Green Leader Elizabeth May has tweeted, “We do not support a single additional barrel of output, a single additional well, or off-shore exploration. No fracking. A rapid transition off fossil fuels.”

Now time for SCC to announce they won't bother hearing the case.

Our worst outcome. What happens if the Liberals have team up with Greens to form a government. Just look to BC to see the result on how to stall development.

'Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.'

“Rapid transition off fossil fuels”. Ok Eizabeth. Let’s start with your hometown- Vancouver Is. No more delivery of fresh fruit, produce, meat products, gasoline, or any other daily necessity. Living on an island, importing just about everything to survive. Transition away.

The SCC doesn’t have to hear the case. The constitution is pretty clear on who can regulate interprovincial pipelines but if he wants to try that is fine.

Hey I'm looking for the article where you called the Sask carbon tax court defeat 'humiliating', can you help ?

What a muppet.

well, we all know how he became Premier. Fewer votes than the Liberals and then he teamed up with the three nobodies from nowhere and the LG for some odd reason told him that he could form a government under those conditions. Pandering to the fickle uninformed electorate since

Hopefully British Columbians have some common sense, so they can send Horgan following Notley's lead out of government. bcpoli ableg

Premier John Horgan to ‘use every tool in the toolbox’ to block the Trans Mountain pipeline These provincial governments have lots of money to spend challenging laws and court orders. Oh wait. It's OUR money they're spending. BC will lose, but it won't stop them from wasting taxpayer money and lost economic output to fruitlessly drag this out. Not likely the SCC will even hear the case. It was a UNANIMOUS decision.
