While I agree with Westopher's comment that much of those within the UCP being upset at the MOU are probably the type that will disagree with anything the federal Liberals present to them, I would also say that given the poison pills that were embedded into the MOU, IMO a UCP supporter should really be at least disappointed with how the MOU came out. In fact, IMO Danielle Smith agreed to a "bad deal".

At the moment, the biggest hurdle is the coastal FN's steadfast refusal with agreeing to the project. I am not at all knowledgable when it comes to FN matters, but just following basic logic, if the pipes pass through their terrorities and they don't give the OK, then it becomes very difficult for the project to actually proceed, right? I can also see how Ottawa "might" overrule the FN protests and keep building, but that creates bad blood, and I'd hardly think Carney wants to go down that road unless he has some very big reasons to do so.

Also, wouldn't a loyal UCP supporter be pretty pissed about seeing the increased industrial carbon tax? And if they are pro-fossil fuel, I wonder how they'd view the amount of money that'll be spent on the carbon capture project as well.
