The latest Spin Reduxit podcast analyzes TransCanada's decision to terminate the proposed Energy East pipeline project.

When the mega project was announced in 2013, then premier David Alward called the proposed pipeline project a "game changer" and an "historic moment" for the province.

• Market not politics or NEB doomed Energy East, says economist
• Demise of Energy East a 'devastating blow' to Saint John, mayor says

Since that time, the project ran into several problems, such as hostile provinces as well asdelaysand setbacks with the National Energy Board.

The regulatory board also changed how it would evaluate the pipeline project to add upstream and downstream greenhousegas emissions.

The podcast explores whether it was the market, politics or the NEB that killed the project as well as the political fallout of the decision.
