They canceled the project last time because it was a started and funded under the provincial liberals. This time its 100% their own project (so they can't use the same rationale of botched liberal numbers) AND the federal government is on board with secured funding, which means they'd face HUGE penalties for canceling. I'm not saying it would be uncharacteristic of them to try and cancel it again but I am saying it would be far harder since theres a lot more legal agreements and partners in play this time. From a political standpoint they'd have absolutely nothing to gain from canceling it and a whole lot to lose.
