B.C. Premier John Horgan will be sweating on Wednesday. It’s a delightful thought.
His British Columbia NDP, a chief obstructor of Alberta’s economy, faces a byelection in Nanaimo.
It’s an NDP stronghold, but if the Liberals win, Horgan’s fragile minority alliance with the Greens will be upended.
That’s only one of his minor troubles. He has many, both local and national, that aren’t going away no matter who wins.
Well, he earned them.
The forces this guy happily unleashed on the Trans Mountain pipeline are now being turned on his own projects.
A First Nations blockade has again halted work on the $6.2-billion Coastal GasLink pipeline.
The National Energy Board will also hear an application to conduct a full federal investigation of this project. The province wants to avoid that on grounds that the GasLink is entirely within B.C.
