One response to “Ep 243: Who speaks for the trees?”
So right now the punditry world is asking how can Jenica Atwin support Liberal Party over TMX, but Terry Beech represents the riding with the TMX terminus and he publicly opposes any expansion or federal purchase yet he’s a member of caucus and won reelection? Also does that mean Jagmeett Singh and the rest of the NDP won’t be supporting Rachel Notley in the next provincial over her support of TMX?
