Yes, its good for the economy and social welfare, but make sure that they fully meet the environmental standards to preserve wildlife.
@B4N2F7D5 days5D
No, not until the Aboriginal Bands this project effects agree to it. I also don’t trust the track-record of pipeline installation by Enbridge.
@9FHNJS32yrs2Y
yes, but take steps to do less harm to ecosystems and the indigenous communities, even if the cost is higher
@9F4F77YConservative2yrs2Y
The 'learn more' doesn't help understanding.
@9MC4BQL11mos11MO
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.
@8VQNZB84yrs4Y
Yes. Pipe line is way better then if there is a spill on water
@Kieranja234yrs4Y
No, pipelines are bad for the environment and oil is a sector that needs to be fazed out.
@8VNM7XJ4yrs4Y
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 Democratic4yrs4Y
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.
@8VH22SV4yrs4Y
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
@8VBHQZP4yrs4Y
Yes, as long as private property rights are respected and tax payer money isnt used
@8VBDLW74yrs4Y
We should be striving for significant and rapid change to sustainable energy.
@8V4C6JN4yrs4Y
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
@8TZ65QC4yrs4Y
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
@8TQ6LMD4yrs4Y
For the time beinging until renewable energy can take over
@8TM8L3W4yrs4Y
Yes, but only if every precaution and safety measure is taken. And if the majority vote by communities, not politicians, is reached.
@8SJ2XGN4yrs4Y
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.
@8RRBRMS4yrs4Y
Yes, as long as it is regulated and held to an environment standard
@8R4KM774yrs4Y
Only temporarily until more renewable resources, and enforce it so it doesn't destroy the land
@8QVDZR94yrs4Y
No, it has major environmental disadvantages
@8QTBS2N4yrs4Y
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.
@8DFVTYV5yrs5Y
Yes, after all affected ndigenous bands agree to it.
@95BRPDN3yrs3Y
A pipeline should be built for more efficient and clean transport of natural gas until other energy alternatives are created. The construction of the pipeline should be built with input and influence from Indigenous communities.
@94BMSDB3yrs3Y
No. We shouldn't sell our oil to China. If we are selling it to Taiwan or another Asian countries that share our interests, then yes.
@8YTL4ZM3yrs3Y
Only when the majority of aboriginal bands this project affects agree to it
@8QRXYGTNew Democratic4yrs4Y
No, because it goes on Aboriginal land and the money should've been used on environmentally friendly alternatives.
