Prove that 'Ed' is right!!!!!

That traffic goes in and out regardless of whether EK is there or not. It might make it easier for some but that is about it. The trade will continue with or without EK.

Local politicians love this stuff because it makes them look important, adds some votes and gives them some bragging rights about what they did while in office while trying to keep that office.

The fact that others (outside his constituancy) might not benefit is irrelevant to him. The Federal gov't has decided, that as a whole, it does not benefit Canada. I might add that the Conservatives are about as pro business as you can get.
