The notion that EE was cancelled due to a business decision is a Liberal talking point that assumes those listening are small children.
As Ms. Wente's article states the goal posts were always moving, new hoops were continually added, and then the game was totally changed.  This was a very deliberate and planned process.
Even if one accepts the notion that EE was always a contingent replacement for KXL which is now going ahead, Justin Trudeau's utter failure to advocate for a Canadian over American pipeline is inexplicable.
Unless, as one might conclude, Justin Trudeau is deliberately spiking investment and destroying Canadian livelihoods in one part of country in hopes of accruing "attaboys" elsewhere.
