Trans mountain in its quest for permiting and Social Licence for its expansion to bring more Alberta fossil fuel and fertilizers to the sea coast is seeing challenges to its operations struck down.
On Tuesday, the Federal Court of Appeal issued an unanimous decision, dismissing four challenges to the federal Cabinet’s approval of the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion Project. The Court’s conclusion was that there were no legal grounds for setting aside Cabinet’s decision.

Two years on it is Safer Internet Day and most of us still relay on authorities and presume that internet is safe, so be happy and use that public trust wisely by staying civil and careful with the use of this service.
