    A recent analysis of the federal government’s Trans Mountain pipeline, which is already operational, showed that the pipeline’s revenues aren’t high enough to cover its construction and debt costs, making it a money-loser for taxpayers.

    So naturally, the Alberta government announced it is formally proposing another pipeline to the West Coast.

    And of course, being Alberta…a majority of Albertans — 61 per cent — say they don’t want to spend taxpayer money on a new pipeline.

    Who cares what taxpayers think.
