In 2018, faced with large-scale protests and legal delays, U.S,-based KinderMorgan said it had had enough and would halt its ‘Trans-Mountain’ pipeline project from Alberta to the British Columbia Pacific coast.
The massive project was to twin a decades old existing line to increase capacity for shipping Alberta’s tar sands oil. The Trudeau Liberal government stepped in and bought the Canadian line and the project saying it was in the national interest, and paid $4.4 billon in a deal quickly accepted by shareholders. The government said it would then sell the pipeline project or completed line. So far there have been no buyers.
