The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday edition that the BC Liberals lost their majority in the May 9 provincial vote. The Globe's Kelly Cryderman writes that although NDP Leader John Horgan said little about his party's opposition to Kinder Morgan's pipeline project during the campaign, it became clear the New Democrats would need a partner to win control of the legislature. Enter the three newly elected Green MLAs. With clout that now exceeds the size of his small caucus, BC Green Leader Andrew Weaver entered into a partnership with the NDP last week to oppose the pipeline. Mr. Weaver now says one of the first orders of business will be to seek legal counsel from the Attorney General about killing the 20-year deal brokered by Ms. Clark. The fate of the project has become a defining moment in the national debate over natural-resources development and environmental protection, over what role other levels of government have in approving interprovincial projects, and the degree of consultation and consent that is required from indigenous Canadians. It may take rulings from the Supreme Court and fractious political battles on a national scale to fully answer those questions.
