Because the last time a Liberal PM built a pipeline it was too divisive and costly, this PM will checks notes do exactly the same thing again.
TMX 2: Electric Boogaloo!
Any bets on initial-final cost spread this time?

It’s a Crown corporation, so taxpayer funding should be minimal, but it seems there are mechanisms for them to receive loans from the Ministry of Finance, which is a shame.
If due diligence is actually done, I would still predict that this thing fizzles out in a few years without actually getting built.
How minimal was taxpayer funding to TMX on their last pipeline project? Where will the between $35.2 billion and $43.7 billion come from?
Yes, I’m fully aware of how much heavy lifting “should be” was doing - that’s why it was there.
