      There’s shockingly little opposition to this tbh. I expected it to be closer to 50/50 but only 18% opposing or strongly opposing it is wildly lower than I thought we’d see. Even most NDP voters support it

      In Quebec the support for a pipeline is 51-21 and it’s a slim winner for the NDP too. It is astonishing how much Trump has changed our priorities. If Harris had won the election, I imagine the approval numbers would be reversed.

      I think it is a level take to say: „I support an oil pipeline that will boost our economy, I want it to respect the land rights of those it passes through and the local environment, and I want those utilizing and owning it to be liable for when those respects are infringed.“ If there isn’t a business case for that, then so be it.

      >Support also drops when the market case is questioned. If the United States were able to secure more oil from Venezuela and therefore needed less from Canada, support falls to 45 percent nationally. In this scenario, uncertainty increases, particularly among Liberal and younger voters, indicating that perceptions of global demand matter.

      Can anyone seriously imagine in the days following the end of the Second World War a bunch of managers standing around in a factory in Detroit full of half built tanks and deciding they might as well just tear the place down because Japanese cars might start trickling into the US market in the distant future?

      There isn’t a giant spigot that could unleash Venezuelan oil exports, the physical and human capital has to be rebuilt nearly from scratch.

      Preemptive capitulation is absolutely the stupidest thing we could possibly do, we need to make Canada a place that investors believe they can make fifty to a hundred year oil and gas investments in and not a Kafkaesque cautionary tale about how to suffocate projects in the cradle.

      They can’t get bids on new drilling, companies have stopped drilling in spots because price is crap as demand drops. Most are pumping billions into renewable.

        Alberta and Conservatives ‚Why is the federal govt hamstringing oil!‘

      Notice the poll leaves out entirely the fact that they want this pipeline to be paid for by taxpayers. I’m sure that’s just an oversight and not a choice to mislead anyone.

      Heh theres only one man in Canada’s who opinion matters and thats David eby

      As long as he says no a pipeline is dead

      I categorically oppose this pipeline or any others in the future unless there are refinery operations IN BC for where the pipeline stops.

      Bonus points for some kind of guarantee that the pipeline and/or the refineries can never been sold to non-Canadians.

      Like what JUST happened in BC.

      Then you might find me to be a grudging supporter.

      Until then, ABSOLUTELY NOT.

      These numbers are not good for Smith and Carney. The BC government and First Nations opposing their proposed pipeline is not an “if,” it’s a “now, today.”

      Already, we see what looks on the surface of the surface like majority support for this thing crumble as soon as those two current facts are presented even as possibilities. Given that salience, the sizeable “don’t know” contingents are probably going to become more opposition than support if this pipeline becomes a consistent subject of news and conversation. This poll bears out what I was saying in November right after the MOU. Zombie Northern Gateway is gonna be a loser.
