Will the West Coast pipeline be entirely government-funded?

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss the impending announcement of a government-funded pipeline from Alberta's oil sands to the West Coast. They examine why private capital remains reluctant to invest, the complications of mandatory carbon capture requirements, and the risks of setting a precedent for state-financed major projects. They also explore whether political solutions to government failures are creating dangerous new precedents for public spending.
