text: Oddly enough - we have an answer to your question.  On the one hand, we have Trudeau, dancing ever so delicately around this pipeline issue, while at the same time offering up an $867 million dollar support package to BC's softwood lumber industry.  On the other hand, we have Catherine McKenna, Trudeau's environment minister, playing hardball with Manitoba and Saskatchewan over their refusal to sign on to the federal carbon taxing scheme.  She is apparently cutting off all of their funding for clean energy projects.
  
  So, to sum up, Manitoba and Saskatchewan don't follow the federal government's carbon tax initiatives, and they get their hands slapped with funding cuts (courtesy of McKenna).  Alternatively, BC decides not to follow the federal government's pipeline initiatives, yet incredibly, not only does BC not hear about it from Trudeau, but he turns around and offers them $867 million in support for softwood lumber, plus further support for the fentanyl crisis.  Utterly amazing!
