“We’re looking for absolutely every symbolic gesture that we can actually do, that is being wise with city funds, being efficient in our advocacy,” said Coun. Shane Keating.

He said council understands “there is no way the city can actually put any approving authority” toward pipeline expansions, but “we can certainly influence” it.

“It’s not our jurisdiction,” Keating said. “Legally, we can’t do much and economically, we shouldn’t be spending a ton of City of Calgary money on this. But what can we do?”
