Canada will fast track the approval process for a new proposed crude oil export pipeline to its west coast that could generate over C$20 billion ($14 billion) a year in GDP, Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Thursday.
The pipeline, which was announced in July, is a crucial part of Carney’s bid to diversify the economy away from the United States and help lessen the effect of Donald Trump’s tariffs.
Carney said Ottawa would officially list the Pacific Link pipeline as a project of national interest, which enables it proceed through a single federal regulatory review process. He said Ottawa aimed to complete the process by September 1, 2027.
No “oil pipeline” is a good idea no matter the self serving justifications.
Oil pipelines are afaik the cheapest and most efficient way to move oil. Do u suggest that instead of building a pipeline, it get trucked or trained across the country at a greater environmental burden due to the increased oil usage required to transport it? Not saying I like pipelines, just playing devils advocate here for if “the oil has to be moved anyways”, what is the best way to do it?
I think the message was “fuck oil”.
Yea I get that lol. Just genuinely curious what the best alternative to making a pipeline is, I assume train?
