I don't see why Canadian engineers would be *incapable* of it.

The political considerations to which you allude are, of course,
relevant to whether such a project would be authorised, but my
brother-in-law would be more than a bit miffed by the suggestion
that they affect his competence as an engineer.

Heaven help us from miffed Canadian engineers. I re-read my reply
and didn't find the words engineering, competence, or incapable.
Don't be so defensive.

You were clearly having a dig at the politicians.

That said, while you didn't explicitly malign the engineers, the nearest
you got to praising them was with that "Not while ..." bit.

Methinks we agree. :-)
