It is possible, it appears, to build an oil pipeline in Canada. In Canada we devote vast resources to arguing over whether one pipelinethat goes to an ocean port can be joined by another pipeline going to the ocean port.

Trapped by its own machinations, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government felt compelled to buy the pipeline and stick the tab on the public purse.
