and working there is a lot of that going on there is a lot of arrogance about that and then you know the legal dynamic is is incredibly complicated right so in canada i mean short way of saying if you want to be against something because you just don't like it there are there are all kinds of reasons to be against pretty much everything in this country i mean in british columbia we had a referendum on whether or not to host the olympics and there were you know all
all kinds of reasons cultural and it's like really like we can't just agree that we should have a big massive event that would be great to inspire the country and like no no no like you like come on so so as a country i think we're always challenged right and i and i worry about that as a country that you know can can we not have be aspirational and and and build big things and the answer is it's really hard to get people to rise up and see the opportunity and things when there's so many opportunities to say no how did how did we get to that
Well, I mean, yeah, coming back to this is, frankly, there's opportunism, right?

You have to take a risk.
You have to be prepared to lose.

And with regard to building a pipeline, it's like you have to give up a little bit of political opportunism.
You have to be able to, you know, on both sides, by the way, like there's political opportunism and saying no to a pipeline and appealing to green voters if you're David Eby.
There's also political opportunism if you're on the center rider, if you believe in the access to pipelines, that it actually might be a little bit more expensive and you actually have to might do something that you actually might have to.
pay a little bit more per barrel in order to have an economic partnership.
You actually might have to pay a little bit more in order to have world-class, you know, tanker traffic management and more Coast Guard.
Like, you might have to pay a little more.
You might have to give up a little bit of something for the public good in order to deal with people's fears and to give back.
And so it's, you know, how do you get to no's?
It's pretty easy because it's laced with politics and opportunism.
And you have to, for lack of a better phrase, you have to really want to put country first.
You really have to.
