I do not support it as a necessary act, but as an interesting idea. It is not essential to the succession of our nation, and if aboriginal groups do not support it, there is cultural interference happening. I am not supporting an act with the potential to create personal conflict.

 @B23DHJVanswered…2wks2W

No And All Current Pipelines Should Be Shutdown And Removed And There Should Be A Complete Ban On Any New Pipelines

 @9W2PH89from British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

We should process oil in canada instead of shipping to foreign markets without environmental regulations

 @9W2P3R6from British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

I would like to see this implemented but only if the government and the companies transporting the resources overseas can guarantee and follow through with their promise with yearly well-designed checks and public reports stating their success at transporting the resources with the least amount of environmental damage and no oil spills

 @9WYDMSDfrom British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

Yes, so long as private companies and contractors have no hand in it, we must nationalize our natural resources, we just must also do it efficiently and properly, which means keeping privately contracted public works companies and middle men out of it as well.

 @9LN42DVfrom Ontario  answered…8mos8MO

Yes, assuming all measures can be taken to ensure reduced impact on the environment and affected communities.

 @9LJGNWTPeople’s from British Columbia  answered…9mos9MO

Yes, as long as the corporations building the pipeline and operating the pipeline have UNLIMITED LIABILITY and either sufficient assets or bonding in place to clean up an environmental disaster. If the cost of the potential loss or bonding is prohibitive, then this is a market force that will drive stakeholders to alternatives.

 @9KTRK67from British Columbia  answered…10mos10MO

No, bitumen should not be transported by ship especially in such a treacherous and sensitive environment

 @9KBFTYW from British Columbia  answered…10mos10MO

Yes, but only with agreements between all parties being formalized, including Aboriginal bands and strict penalties for non-adherence or future failures causing environmental harm or damage.

 @9K6HR9Kfrom Ontario  answered…10mos10MO

No, This hurts the multiple years of our national human societal race that came from more important backgrounds than worthless whole whites, also yeah aboriginals should have something to decide as such as us as well.

 @9HW52K8from Ontario  answered…12mos12MO

Yes, as long as it provides serious environmental risks, especially to those in Aboriginal communities

 @9H5Z3PKfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

I do support it but at the same time I don't, i'm in the middle. I say this because this is a good idea but what if it breaks or leaks and there is a lot of money going into it.

 @9GPTJ2Dfrom British Columbia  answered…1yr1Y

Yes, energy sources should be diversified to include both renewable sources, and safe transportation on existing fuel sources. While there needs to be a significant increase in the development of renewable energy infrastructure, this project had to be seen to completion to avoid wasteful financial penalties for breaking contract agreements.

 @9FQ2ZJYfrom Yukon Territory  answered…1yr1Y

Yes- canadian oil and gas projects are at least properly regulated, and workers are fairly compensated.. Our appetite and reliance is far too great to prohibit these projects while accepting oil and gas from overseas. However, our efforts should be focused on reducing reliance on oil and fas altogether.

 @9FQ2ZJYfrom Yukon Territory  answered…1yr1Y

 @9FPG8CXfrom Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

Yes, its good for the economy and social welfare, but make sure that they fully meet the environmental standards to preserve wildlife.

 @9FHNJS3from Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

yes, but take steps to do less harm to ecosystems and the indigenous communities, even if the cost is higher

 @9RTLWCPIndependentfrom Ontario  answered…5mos5MO

I would like to see us gradually move away and transition away from fossil fuel, but as long as we limit the environmental damage, sure. And as long as, aboriginals, provinces, and citizens agree to the project. I understand the social and economic benefits, but if we're going to use pipelines, I would much prefer LNG than oil.

 @9RCRJ4Ffrom Nova Scotia  answered…5mos5MO

This is a far too complex situation to answer with a yes/no question. The process was botched from the start, and so it may be fair to say that in the state that the project is in, it should not proceed.

 @9QZCYDNfrom Ontario  answered…5mos5MO

No. It might have some benefits but the environment is being destroyed and the local people are mostly against it. Additionally the company doesn't have the greatest history.

 @9MC4BQLfrom Alberta  answered…8mos8MO

No, we have basically waged war on local tribes by allowing militias and even used the US army to help against those who would stand in your way. Not to mention the history or pipelines leaking and destroying the environment just for this energy source.

 @Steeviemacfrom British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, provided the project is well-planned and engineered for safety, with evidence-based guarantees that it will provide significant social and economic benefits to the region, including First Nations communities.

 @93W6LVBLiberalfrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

yes, according to me it is very helpful project for society as it provides many benefits to society.

 @8X6PZPCNew Democraticfrom British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

No, we should not build any new pipelines and instead fund renewable energy projects while slowly fading out our oil industry.

 @8WZ4NMBfrom Manitoba  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8WC5MFZPeople’sfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, this is a well planned project that will provide significant social and economic benefits to the region, but until all or most of the Aboriginal bands this project affects agree to it. Or just for provinces that want or need the pipeline

 @8VTFCPGfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, if the money gained is invested into First Nation communities and renewable energy

 @8VRFTSWfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8VR5D8Ffrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8VQNZB8from Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

 @Kieranja23from Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

No, pipelines are bad for the environment and oil is a sector that needs to be fazed out.

 @8VNM7XJfrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes. I think Canada should be self sustaining. We can have better control over how clean the oil we need is by using home grown. A pipeline to Quebec will be way more environmentally friendly and ethical than shipping oil from Saudi’s Arabia or Venezuela up the St Lawrence.

 @8VMB6WPNew Democraticfrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes but only as a stop-gap for alternative energies. Building a pipeline with a shorter lifespan will allow Canada to leverage their oil and gas to market while creating an increase importance of exploring alternatives energy.

 @8VKD4HPfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8VK36R4from New Brunswick  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, until greener energy is more widely used creating cleaner alternatives

 @8VK27KSfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

No, we should invest in renewable R&D or infrastructure rather than a sunset industry

 @8VJ2YQLPeople’sfrom British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8VHVHF5from British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

only if all safety measures are going to be strictly adhered to and enforced

 @8VHNSCTfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

I’m unaware of it and would rather not comment on something I’m not informed in

 @8VH22SVfrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

If it is approved by the people and there are plans in place for environmental restoration once the pipeline is build then there is no problem

 @8VH294Rfrom British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8VGTKWHfrom British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8VDFY38from British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

The only way fossil fuels and other resources should be leaving Canada is in the form of manufactured products

 @8VBS7Z7from British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8VBHQZPfrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, as long as private property rights are respected and tax payer money isnt used

 @8VBDLW7from Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

We should be striving for significant and rapid change to sustainable energy.

 @8V9X8PWGreenfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes but only if Endbridge Funds fresh drinking water to the First Nation communities.

 @8V5S6SLfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8V4C6JNfrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

We should evaluate the long-term liability of Canadian oil for the global market. It may become too expensive to produce and become a burden rather than a benefit. If long-term forecasts suggest viability, then build it

 @8TZ65QCfrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

I’m of the mind that pipelines are the safest way to move oil products HOWEVER we should be striving for significant and rapid change to sustainable energy

  @8TXVXMLfrom British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

No, concerns about property easements and Government funding of such projects make it impossible to support.

 @8TWYK3Lfrom New Brunswick  answered…3yrs3Y

125% safety measures should be taken before. Predict possible environmental impact and situations before it happens. If you can create a pipeline for oil, we can create a pipeline for clean drinking water to lndigenous people.

 @8TWQNRHfrom British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

No. We need to be focused on solar, wind, and geothermal energy. Clean energy.

 @8TVXHQWfrom British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, if it it done safely and respects all stakeholders. There is still a market for oil. Why not let Western Canada access the market. How does a country, so proud of universal health care, pay for it without a reliable source of revenue. You can't keep tax punishing people who try to get ahead (and it's not the rich, by the way).

 @8TRPMHXfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

I am unsure at this moment/ don’t have enough information to formulate an opinion

 @8TQ6LMDfrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8TN4GLWfrom Quebec  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8TM8L3Wfrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but only if every precaution and safety measure is taken. And if the majority vote by communities, not politicians, is reached.

 @8TLWKBHfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8TKFPRHfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8SXM7TVfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8SJ2XGNfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

I do support the project, so long as all Aboriginal bands this project affects agrees towards it. As I do believe this will provide social and economic benefits, but shouldn't become forced upon to the lands of the Aboriginal groups if they don't agree upon it.

 @8SHRW85from Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Why do a pipeline at all? We could benefit more financially in the long run from invest in sustainable energy.

 @8SCWFQWfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8S2ZZRMfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8RVXCRGfrom Manitoba  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8RRBRMSfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8RQTCTZLiberalfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Do it or don’t. This back and forth is a waste of money. Either get it done, because we still use fossil fuels or abandon it entirely towards a 100% shift to natural resources.

 @shaelynjfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

no, not all indigenous groups agree and also the areas where they want to build the pipeline are horrible

 @8R4KM77from Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Only temporarily until more renewable resources, and enforce it so it doesn't destroy the land

 @8R2ZVZ2from Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

No the project should not occur. As well, the government should pay miners to perform labor involving renewable energy sources instead.

 @8R23V35from Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

No - I'm tired of subsidizing dying industries, subsidize transition for energy companies to renewables

 @8QZTFS3from Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

We should be useing green energy to end our dependency on foreign fuel first with the goal of transitioning our energy to green

 @8QVDZR9from Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8QTBS2Nfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

ultimately no because although it will provide social and economic benefits for the country in the short term future. It is not sustainable for long term life and we should already be looking into better energy and economic sources.

 @8QPX6WJfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

All pipelines should be shuttered and any petroleum transport should be done be rail.

 @8PPLF2TNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Canadian Oil, should be processed in Canada and made of use to Canadians. - End reliance on Imported Oil . - If we have so much to give away to China.. then that means we have enough to last us eternity. Our Resources should employ and support our lives.

 @8PJQWSRfrom Quebec  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8PJMGYMfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

No, but I understand the economic benefits and don't mind it being constructed if provinces and the US and Canada agree to it. Not to mention if natives and citizens consent to the construction on their private property

 @8NZWYH6from Manitoba  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes as we still rely on oil at this point but we can’t ignore those that oppose the project and we can’t ignore the development of renewable energy either transitions need to be made.

 @8NYM4G4from British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, as long as the people who own the land consent and are properly compensated.

 @8LW2NDMfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8JDRVHPfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

Only if there will not be anymore tankers that are already in our waters. More tankers will harm our environment in many ways.

 @8J8HKFYfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

yes but with compassion for the people, animals, and nature that are affected negatively.

 @8DFVTYVfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8CG85VWLibertarianfrom Manitoba  answered…4yrs4Y

 @9BCJ5ZTfrom Saskatchewan  answered…2yrs2Y

No, we should move away from oil because it negatively affects the environment and people. Anything that affects the land should be decided by Indigenous people
