So he purposely creates a false flag for a pipeline to hoodwink a nasty premier but in the meantime divides Canadians? Is this the 4D chess everyone keeps talking about? If so, then I can’t respect a PM who plays games with our country. Or he really supports the pipeline and is anti climate.

There is at least one massive inconsistency in the MOU.
On the one hand it speaks of "private sector constructed & financed pipelines" & on the other "AB commits to:
act as proponent for advancing the development of a bitumen pipeline".
Which is it? AB taxpayers want to know
