In the past few days the crown corporation running TMX has announced that they've hired thousands of people in Alberta and BC for work on the pipeline.
That will do much more to get people calmed down than giving Landslide Annie a guest spot on the PM's transition team, or finding a token Albertan to put in Cabinet, or god forbid another "we share your pain" theatrical performance from the PM. People don't want token representatives or fake sympathy, they just want progress to be made.
