Which is a pipeline? Which is a ski hill? Take this quiz!

Pipelines had a bad week, so our panellists do their best to cheer them up.
(Jason Woodhead)

Pipeline proponents had a rough week. First, Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre suddenly became very concerned about the environment, now that he's gotten that 8 billion litre sewage dump out of his system, and came out against the Energy East pipeline.

Then the Liberals announced that pipelines would need to meet new criteria such as environmental effects and indigenous consultation before being approved. Pipeline? More like GRIPEline AMIRITE?

I thought 'Trans Mountain' was the sequel to Brokeback?- Panellist Rebecca Northarn

In fact, many pipelines crisscross Canada already, and to explore the subject further Gavin created a quiz involving two things Alberta is famous for: oil and fantastic ski hills. Panellists had to guess which names belonged to pipelines, and which belonged to ski hills. Harder than it sounds!

BELOW: Watch Gavin quiz CBC World Report host David Common to see if he can tell the difference between Canada's pipelines and ski runs.
