Now I'm no expert in the pipeline business, or anything else unfortunately, but this seems like an awfully bad PR move. It smells like another 60 Minutes segment in the making.
My family has owned land in Alberta for more than a hundred years. Turn the story around and I just can't imagine why we (or my ultra-conservative Grandpa, if he were still around) would let (for example) an oil company from Texas build a pipeline through that land on its way to a port on the Atlantic.
Why would we?
Now sure, if the reason was "They'll give us lots of money", I could understand that. But if they aren't... |
Oil companies are a POS. Plain and simple.
