The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that after the initial shock of the Federal Court of Appeal's judgment on the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, life is returning to normal for Alberta Premier Rachel Notley. The Globe's Gary Mason writes that for Ms. Notley, there is not much she can do now but wait for Ottawa to come up with its response to the ruling. The clock, however, is ticking. With a provincial election slated for next May, there is an important political timeline at play. Among other things, the court's finding stopped Ms. Notley's pre-election campaign strategy cold in its tracks. She will likely now have to endure months more of her main political rival, Jason Kenney, leader of the United Conservative Party, hammering her publicly for believing Mr. Trudeau would come through with a pipeline in exchange for a carbon tax. Mr. Kenney is campaigning almost as hard against Mr. Trudeau on behalf of his old pals in the federal Conservative party. He would love to see the federal Liberals wiped out in Alberta come the next general election, and is working overtime to make it possible. Mr. Trudeau knows this, which is why he is determined to see this pipeline expansion happen.
