SINGH HOLDS THE DOOR OF HORGAN'S EXIT HATCH

   Braid, Calgary Herald:  Federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said the B.C. and federal governments should go to the Supreme Court, hand in hand, for a ruling on the constitutionality of the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion.
   That would bring peace and understanding in our time.
   The court reference idea is, in short, absurd. Singh wants to look like a neutral peacemaker when the federal NDP’s pipeline stance is already clear.
   “This is a way forward that actually unites instead of dividing,” Singh said.
   Singh was doing B.C. Premier John Horgan’s work when he suggested the court reference. Horgan seems to be looking for an exit hatch. Inevitable defeat in the Supreme Court would allow him to say he did his best, but his government must tolerate the project without resistance.
