@pinhman@humanwords.party @canadianglen@thecanadian.social Since when do users/buyers decide what price they will pay?
I don’t get to decide how much rent I’ll pay, the interest rate on my mortgage, or what a hotel or flight should cost.
Fuck’m. Charge what it costs, plus a carbon tax that regularly increases at 2x the rate of inflation. Pipelines should be operated in a way that ensures they’ll eventually put themselves out of business.

@JustinDerrick@mstdn.ca @canadianglen@thecanadian.social The decision to build TMX was a political decision, not a business/economic. End users are taking advantage of this built for politics not business. They have been given this opportunity through J Trudeau’s spurned efforts to bring Alberta on side. Perhaps the worst investment Canada made? The new pipeline better pay for itself and contribute to the route infrastructure costs Canadian taxpayers will pay for in generations of tax payments. ps The irony of Canada’s conservative voices; More Taxes! More Debt! (pipelines) https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/tasker-trans-mountain-trudeau-cabinet-decision-1.5180269
