Putting Pacific Link on the national interest list is exactly the kind of decisive move a country sitting on world-class energy reserves should be making. Opening a direct route to Asia -Pacific markets ends the discount on Alberta crude and turns oil into real paycheques, hospital funding and school budgets. EnergyWhen a country with world-class energy reserves puts Pacific Link on the national interest list, energy sovereignty stops being a slogan and startsbecomes being a pipeline.
Slapping a shiny new name on a pipeline and calling it a national priority doesn't move a single shovel of dirt. What's actually been announced is another year of consultations, a tangle of agreements that have to line up perfectly and zero explanation of what happens when they don't. Announcing a deadline isn't the same as building anything.
