So I guess it is also acceptable tot he Greens to pipe it through Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, and New Brunswick. Just not BC.
Notley needs to hop on this hard to galvanize the rest of Canada against BC. “BC doesn’t care about the environment, just unconstitutional NIMBYism. They’re fine with shipping it across thousands of extra kilometres and 4 or 5 provinces to load on the east coast instead of right next door off their coast.”
