A newly re-elected Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canadians want him to fight climate change but that building an oil pipeline his government bought remains a priority.
While Trudeau91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™s Liberal Party took the most seats in Parliament in Monday91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™s elections, it lost its majority and will have to rely on opposition parties to get legislation passed. Trudeau ruled out a formal or informal coalition with the other parties, meaning he will move forward on an issue by issue basis.
Trudeau said at a news conference Wednesday that he wants to build the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion from Alberta91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™s oil sands to the Pacific Coast quickly. Environmental opposition and court challenges have stalled construction.
Alberta is increasingly angry over Trudeau91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™s inability to get it built.
