I agree with one aspect of your comment; that you are no pipeline engineer nor political strategist.

Horgan will stop KM or lose enough support to never be elected again.  You seem to forget that no matter what the results of the election, the majority of BC voters want the pipeline stopped.

BC has never actually received any federal funding for spill response, merely a promise that it will someday appear.  Evidence to BCers is that the feds could not stop, nor even attend a fuel barge sinking on the BC coast.

The pipeline will be stopped, regardless of politics.
