Quebec's legal action on Energy East mischaracterized, Notley says

Premier Rachel Notley says she's holding her fire – for now – on Quebec's plan to request an injunction related to TransCanada's proposed Energy East pipeline, telling reporters the legal move has been mischaracterized as something greater than it actually appears to be.

"It is not the politically divisive and problematic issue that people might have first thought it was," the premier said during a press conference Tuesday afternoon.

"This is really nothing different than we've already seen in Ontario and B.C."

True. You don't have to read to far into any article on that to find out it's not so much a move against the pipeline as it is a move in favour of provincial input into insuring that environmental concerns are addressed to the province's satisfaction.

Quebec once howled about Alberta when it came to energy policy
and created a rift for decades, now Quebec is doing what Alberta
did neither province acted in the national interest and its time they
got with the program(Quebec I mean)

Too bad notley doesn't represent the views of Albertans.

Perhaps the Americans will let it run through Maine to bypass Quebec. Unlikely, but who knows.
