Bottom line: PM Trudeau threading the needle. Indigenous peoples will get their day in court; arguments narrowed; most expect final decision to be positive for the pipeline; pipeline remains under construction. At least that's my take.
The "number one" argument to stop the pipeline appears dead. The number one argument: the pipeline will add to many more oil tankers to the port, near whale lanes. Right now there are 23,000 ships moving through that port every year. The pipeline is estimated to add another 700 ships. My hunch: free market capitalism and government mandating no increase in amount of ship traffic would solve the problem overnight.
