Same story everywhere, people won't vote to tax the uberrich, get fucked, and then make the same mistake again - only poorer this time.
David Eby is penny wise but pound foolish.
I don't like foreign control of Canadian resources either, but the pipeline harming salmon parts are misleading. You wouldn't believe how much environmental consideration is taken building pipeline in Canada.
I've been on projects where environmental group was removing and marking riverbed rocks (by the thousands) and making a map from this, just so that each rock would be returned to the exact place it was taken from when the river is put back together after laying pipe through.
Larger river systems are typically bored under to avoid upsetting the river at all.
Pipeline construction is not allowed disturb the river while there is any fish species "run" occuring at all.
Pipeline construction stops for obvious migrations like Elk, Wolves etc., and crossing are required every couple kms.
But I've even been on projects where we were completely shut down for frog migration.
No soils can be mixed and are kept in different spill piles for when backfilling.
Invasive species are handled, vehicle tires and tracks are sprayed.. And much more.
I think most Canadians would find a lot more care is taken than the eco-warrior media would suggest.
Sure it "disturbs" the environment like anything humans do, does. But it's quite temporary.
In fact because it's not a road, there's less long term impact. Road traffic kills how many animals and butterfly and bird every year?
Road traffic also kills more than a million people every year, and it's mostly powered by fossil fuel transported by pipelines.
Like, don't worry, the construction of pipelines is very gentle on the ecology. It's spewing black death at the end but don't mind that.
What's next? We won't believe how oil fields in Alberta are taking care of the environment and are as clean as clean coal?
However clean and ecologically friendly the construction of the pipeline is, the exploitation of the oil sands itself is causing ecological harm. The product it transports and sells is also causing ecological harm.
Cutting down a tree to have a fire for warmth also spews black death.
Some people seem to want to blame the transportation mechanism instead of the demand.
