I don't think this pipeline gets built, but I could see the Eagle Spirit Energy pipeline being built.

The Eagle Spirit Energy Pipeline is a farce, a few white guys sat down with some aboriginals and drew a line over a map and titled it "Eagle Spirit Energy Pipeline". They are just hoping the angle of aboriginal ownership will somehow result in a gov. funded pipeline, it will never ever happen. They haven't initiated a feasibility study. they don't have any survey data, they have't started any applications etc... it's just a line on a map.
Trudeau approved L3R and TMEP while rejecting Northern Gateway, it had nothing to do with the carbon tax and everything to do with re-election.
Say no to the most controversial (Gateway) that also happened to have already been largely abandoned internally by Enbridge while giving the green light to a replacement project and another pipeline to get oil to tidewater - something nobody else was able to do.
