text: About time Wente was put out to pasture, except that she's allergc to her rural digs! What qualifications does Wente have to write a piece on this subject other than to promulgate the required Globe anti-Liberal and pro-Conservative agenda? Professor Leach's article contains logic and a coherent story behind TCPL's decision not to proceed with Energy East. Even the New Brunswick Premier, who had as much to gain from this pipeline as did the producers in Alberta, says that it was market forces that caused the demise of EE, not evil machinations in Ottawa. Incidentally, what Trudeau has said is that he supports oil development as long as environmental concerns are dealt with - he's also getting abuse for approving the Trans Mountain expansion so how does that jive with Wente's contrived nonsense!
