Comment: Canada is not a real country... in the true sense of the word. It is a loose federation of ten "fiefdoms" and three realms, all with their own unique identities and priorities. These "fiefdoms" are rarely in agreement  and often try to usurp, out play and out maneuver one another. To further complicate matters, some "fiefdoms" are more equal than others and all this is held together by a weak central government which is reticent to use the authority it does have. 

Nothing highlights this more  than our pipeline fiasco.
