PM TRUDEAU LOOKING FOR A MAGIC WAND

    OTTAWA — As the federal cabinet meets Tuesday to chart a path forward for the Kinder Morgan pipeline, a Toronto lawyer is urging the prime minister to temporarily suspend the normal rules of order and invoke the Emergencies Act.
    If Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is serious about getting the Kinder Morgan expansion built, Ian Blue, a counsel at Gardiner Roberts LLP and expert on constitutional law and energy matters, told HuffPost Canada, he should stand up in the House of Commons, declare the construction of the pipeline a national policy, and use the act to ensure its completion.
     "Nobody takes the prime minister or this cabinet seriously about the Kinder Morgan pipeline — including Kinder Morgan," Blue said.
