Did I mention TransCanada is also eminently fond of abusing eminent domain?

Oh, I get it, when the government violates private property rights, it’s OMG the worst thing evah!!1! But when a foreign corporation does it, roll over and take it like a good republican voter should.

OK, now you have my attention. Though again, the law authorizing the pipeline can probably be written tight enough to avoid serious abuses.

Though I do at this point remind myself of the tale of the monkey’s paw.
