Voices are saying there is a date. The federal government agrees to a date and they commit to using their best efforts to get to that date.

Sept. 1, 2027. Approval for construction of an Alberta pipeline to the west coast.

Final approval. No more hurdles. Consultations over. Carney and his people are said to be on board. This is what we are told.

We are told this is the fastest any pipeline has been approved in a very long time.

Holy Coincidence, Batman!  Sept. 1, 2027. That’s a month before the next provincial election. Let the chips fall where they may.

Earlier this week, a news report said Carney is looking at a date this fall when Carney would designate a pipeline to the west coast as being in the national interest and it would be fast-tracked.

There is now a date for that as well.

The Carney government will use all their efforts to get this west coast pipeline declared in the national interest by Oct. 1 this year.

Oct. 1. Isn’t the referendum on Alberta independence Oct. 19? I digress.

Oct. 1. That starts the clock heading to the finish line.

Then there are consultations........
