Wall slams feds, Montreal mayor over Energy East decision
Saskatchewan politicians are reacting with frustration and disappointment over TransCanada’s decision to cancel the Energy East pipeline.
The pipeline, which would have transported oil from Alberta and Saskatchewan to refineries in New Brunswick, was nixed due to the inability to reach a “regulatory decision,” according to TransCanada.
Premier Brad Wall released a scathing statement on Twitter and Facebook describing it as “a very bad day for the west” and laying the blame for thousands of job losses at the feet of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberal government.
Wall blasted the comments of Montreal Mayor Dennis Coderre who called the decision a “major victory.”
