Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was in Calgary on Tuesday to re-announce his funding commitment for the Green Line LRT — but could not avoid tough questions on the Trans Mountain pipeline. The $1.53 billion for the major infrastructure project was first announced in 2015 by the previous Conservative government. Trudeau was flanked by federal Infrastructure Minister Amarjeet Sohi and Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi, all focusing on the Green Line project. Reporters at the event jumped right into questions about the controversial Trans Mountain project, but new answers were hard to come by. He's not particularly popular in Calgary right now over the Trans Mountain pipeline, so I think this is designed to be a good news story for him."
