The Conservatives asked the Liberals about progress on a new pipeline, saying there were no concrete details. The Liberals responded by listing other pipeline projects happening this summer, touting economic benefits. The Conservatives accused the Liberals of creating illusions and not repealing anti-development policies. More partisan sniping than substantive pipeline policy discussion.
“I want the Conservatives to quit attacking us and pay attention to the pipelines that are already being built. There are some real projects starting this summer. The Conservatives are ignoring that because they just want to make us look bad on social media.”
“I don't want you to distract from my attack. I want to blame you for blocking natural resource development. You're not helping. I want specific answers and action, not more pretty words.”
“I want to paint a rosy picture of spending and jobs. I'm trying to make the Conservatives look out of touch. I want you to think everything is fine and we're doing a lot.”
