Should the government allow TransCanada to expropriate private property for the construction of the Keystone pipeline?

No, and begin a serious transition away from fossil fuels by slowly shutting down oil production and supporting oil workers changing career

Yes but only if the landowners are fairly compensated & all Indigenous bands in the area agree to it.

I do not necessarily agree with the use and production of petroleum oil, but recognise that it is more currently available than some other renewable sources of fuel. This however should not be the only source of fuel and there should be more interest/research in replacing oil as a fuel for more renewable sources.

Not, not unless the landowners are fairly compensated & all Indigenous communities in the area agree.

It should be supported if land owners are fairly compensated, and a reduction of oil production from tar sands.

TransCanada should compensate for using their land and lost resources

No, the government should never be allowed to expropriate private property

No, having the pipeline will reduce the incentive to switch to clean energy

Yes, but only on land that is not owned by anybody and/or any indigenous people.

I'd rather see them pay right of way leases to land owners

No expropriation but allow negotiations. And get pipelines built to meet demand.

Don’t know enough to have an opinion

Yes, if the private property is acquired fairly and equitably

Yes, but with a requirement that the owners of the expropriated land receive royalties on the oil that flows through there in perpetuity including their heirs.

If the landowners are consulted and have come to an agreement

I believe they can negotiate the land from the owner, but not expropriation.

Re-route, private companies should not be able to expropriate land or private property

No, expropriation should not be a viable practice

They should not use the government to force the landowners of their land, instead they should get the land themselves with a level of government support.

If the landowners decides. This is his land he or she pay taxes.

No, kick TransCanada or have Canada work with federal, provincial and other pipeline related company to work on this pipeline.

Yes if landowners are very well compensated, Indigenous lands are respected, and environmental considerations heeded.

I don’t know what this means

I don't really see the point in giving the pipeline project a private property when it's only harming the environment even more.

No… TC has to be able to find a solution with any hold out land owners

No, but they can if the landowners or people agree with the pipeline and think if is good for the environment.

No, but offer to pay for the use of the land and any clean up that may be needed
