Kinder Morgan: Nation-builder or white elephant?
A special episode of Unpacking the News digging deep into the arguments for and against Trans Mountain
May 2 2018
NWFblogs

Are we getting the full story behind Trans Mountain? Does the pipeline still make economic sense? Can it survive legal challenges from First Nations, municipal governments and the province of B.C.? And is it a good investment for Canada, or is it a costly white elephant that will haunt the country for years to come?
