RE:RE:LRMPThe rejection occurred October 2012. At the time, the Liberals were in power but were trailing in the polls significantly to the left wing party for the upcoming May 2013 provincial election. Clark, the leader of the Liberals, rejected Northern Gateway on National TV while saying "we value the environment over economics, as evidence of rejecting PBM earlier today, a $6Billion dollar mine." Fast forward 8 months and the Liberals retained power by majority in the May 2013 election. If you read all of my posts, I believe PBM was caught in the cross-hairs of a significant political tactic that proved to be valuable for the Liberals. Their reason for rejection was sockeye salmon and strong first nation opposition - read the post I made earlier today with the link - it outlines the smoking gun quite clearly. Ironically, the Liberals now need jobs because the northern region of the province has been decimated due to soft commodity prices and a terminal declining forestry industry that used to be the province's backbone.
