There is overwhelming evidence to show that the project will have minimum impact on the environment of either province. A pipeline is much, much safer that shipping the oil by rail! In my opinion, the economic benefits to Canada will be widespread and significant in a positive way!
Yet the protesters and the support groups demonstrate against each other. Folks are blocking access to the pipeline building sites. The squabble has become a farce on democracy. I suspect that most protesters don't even understand what they are really protesting and why!
Yet the fight goes on! I think now the fight is being waged, just because! The reasons for the initial debate have been lost in the rhetoric over the past few months. Let's just quit all this silliness and build the pipeline! And maybe we should build a huge oil refinery in Fort Mac. as well!
