Trudeau did mispeak - he was way overly optimistic. 

Tar is amongst the dirtiest and most expensive to refine oil on the planet. It will be the first to go as EV's now competitive with fossil fuels, become no brainers when driverless takes over the market in a few years, eliminating fossil groff that the pipes depend on. Add in China's 2017 in service factory built rail shippable HTGR nuke capable of replacing fossil plants at a penny a kwh, producing synthetic fuel at 25 cents a litre, and Big Oil and pipe investors are in for a world of hurt starting in the next 5 years. Best ship the tar safely in steam heated rail - at least the cars can be reused.

What the Mr T doesn't get is that nuclear power starting in Asia, will be killing fossil fuels flat out. Instead, he is a defacto member of Big Oil's army of idiots and ghouls, pushing the wind/solar/fossil backup scam, that leads to millions or air pollution deaths annually and no GHG reductions at all.
