Canadian Politics Today

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.

if only the 'hair-on-fire' types, like you member kimmy, were as understanding and topical as you are hyperbolic, whining and apologetic for the province of Alberta and many of its residents!

certainly there was ongoing progress that barely registered, if at all, with the mainstream media. Granted, the Liberal Party did not broadcast said progress during the election campaign... an obvious conscious decision for the obvious rationale - ya think!

waldo recap:

=> in early September that "rebranding" occurred in forming the new Crown Corporation - Trans Mountain Corporation (TMC)... this obviously garnered attention in industry circles, if for no other reason than longtime Kinder Morgan Canada president, Ian Anderson, left Kinder Morgan to become president of TMC

=> by the by, for those complaining about the $4.3 billion purchase spend... that kept the pipeline expansion viable... in the first 6 months of 2019, Trans Mountain pipeline generated $342 million in revenue, and netted profits of $72 million. Of course, the Liberal government has stated it does not intend to remain owner indefinitely.

=> about the dated progress in making... Sept 6 news release & Oct 24 Facebook announcement - with Alberta Premier Jason saying diddly about either... as it gets in the way of his separatist stoking play: Note - the Oct 24 FB announcement speaks to contractor hirings of 2200 people AS OF Sept. 30th



=> as of today, the waldo's cursory googly only shows TorStar reporting on this latest TMC FB announcement... what, nothing from PostConMedia... nah, say it ain't so!
