To put things in perspective let's recall that this gov had some very bad press lately and the last thing they will do at this point is being to vocal in defending some industry that's scaring will be voters .

The environmental lobby defending water has been and remain very strong in this province and they're having their day with shale gas now , most of them are closer to oppposition parties .

Time is of the essence here things will subdue in a few months along with other problems this government has , then the economy will once again be in the forefront . Meanwhile QEC and TAL will have time to lobby the people in the areas that are concerned , wich is the key in this agricultural environment . Once the locals have a better view about the projects and they know they will " gain " from it then the story will be behind us .

The agricultural lobby in this province is one of the strongest in political terms because of the way the electoral map is made . Many examples could be given from the clout they have over this society but i won't get into that .

When the price of gas will improve things will start looking different and more profitable for everyone
