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

 @9W2P3R6from British Columbia  answered…5mos5MO

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

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.

So long as there is extremely strict standards, it is monitored, and the people in supervisor roles are upholding the highest of quality standards. The labourers are hard working and do the work properly. All the budget cuts, nepotism, and hiring based off minorities/diversity is showing itself with all the mechanical failures

 @9LN42DVfrom Ontario  answered…11mos11MO

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

 @9LJGNWT from British Columbia  answered…11mos11MO

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.

 @9K6HR9Kfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

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…1yr1Y

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

Peace Over Party: Arab American Leaders Stun Democrats with Mass Trump Endorsement

Former President Trump earned endorsements from "highly respected" Muslim leaders and Imams during a campaign rally in the battleground state of Michigan. Trump, speaking to a crowd in Novi, Michigan, on Saturday afternoon, called the group of Muslim leaders "highly respected," before bringing them onstage."I’m thrilled to accept the endorsement of these highly respected leaders," Trump told the thundering crowd.The group of leaders cited Trump’s commitment to ending wars and ensuring global peace as a primary reason for their support, describing him as a leader who "promises peace, not war.""We, as Muslims, stand with President Trump because he promises peace, not war!" Imam Belal Alzuhairi said. "We are supporting Donald Trump because he promised to end war in the Middle East and Ukraine," Alzuhairi said. "The bloodshed has to stop all over the world, and I think this man can make that happen. I personally believe that God saved his life twice for a reason.""We're going to stop the wars, we're going to make the United States safe again, and we're going to make the world safe," Bazzi said."What a nice endorsement," Trump said after Bazzi’s speech. "These are great people."The Muslim leaders official endorsement came after Amer Ghalib, the mayor of the Detroit-area suburb Hamtramck, announced his support of Trump in a Facebook post on Oct. 20."Though it’s looking good, he may or may not win the election and be the 47th president of the United States, but I believe he is the right choice for this critical time," Ghalib wrote in Arabic on his Facebook page. "I’ll not regret my decision no matter what the outcome would be, and I’m ready to face the consequences. For this, and for many other reasons, I announce my support and endorsement for the former, and hopefully, the next President of the United States, Donald Trump."Ghalib’s endorsement of Trump comes after the two met in Flint earlier this week for a private 20-minute conversation. Ghalib told The Detroit News that Trump "knew a lot about me before the meeting." "We talked about various topics including the debates, the polls updates, the statistics of votes in Michigan and Wayne County, the Arab American concerns and the Yemeni Americans in particular. We also talked about the situation in Yemen," Ghalib said.

Defense Bill Blocks Transgender Care To Minors

The Senate on Wednesday gave final approval to a defense policy bill directing $895 billion toward the Pentagon and other military activities, moving over the objections of some Democrats who opposed a provision added late in the negotiations that would deny coverage for transgender health procedures for minors.The 85-to-14 vote, coming a week after a divided House passed the same measure, cleared the bill for President Biden’s signature.Most Republicans and many Democrats supported the measure, which provides a 14.5 percent pay raise to junior enlisted service members and a 4.5 percent pay raise for all other service members. It also expands access to meal assistance, housing and child care programs that benefit those in uniform.But several Democrats withheld their backing in protest of a provision preventing TRICARE, the military’s health care plan for service members, from covering “medical interventions for the treatment of gender dysphoria that could result in sterilization” for children under 18.The language, which would affect the gender-transitioning children of service members, was recently added to the measure at the insistence of Speaker Mike Johnson, Republican of Louisiana, who refused to bring a defense bill to the House floor without it, according to aides familiar with the negotiations.Twenty-one Democrats, led by Senator Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, proposed an amendment to strip the provision from the bill, but the matter was never brought to a vote. Several of them took to the floor on Tuesday to lodge their objections.“It’s flat-out wrong to put this provision in this bill and take away a service member’s freedom to make that decision for their families,” Ms. Baldwin said, estimating that the provision could negatively affect as many as 6,000 to 7,000 military families.
