The Prime Minister's failure is more more than the pipeline. It is a crisis of confidence in Canada's economic and investment reputation. It tells the world Canada is closed for business, destroys competitiveness, and risks the future.

It has been a year and a half since the Prime Minister said that it was in the national interest. When will Trans Mountain be built?
