neither mulcair nor trudeau will reverse the decision if they win.

trudeau's party won't let him.

and, mulcair's party will ultimately push for refineries to create more union jobs, not to shut the project down.

it might put a few more greens in parliament, and they'll be ignored.

we don't live in a democracy. the opposition has just wasted a lot of time playing silly political games that they can never win, rather than build networks that can oppose the construction by force.

and, on that note: only in canada do we look at election results that contradict every poll taken and say "gee, i guess the pollsters got it wrong".

i didn't see one person suggest the election was fixed.

and, look at the way it got spun: "flopping" was a "mistake".
