No. And neither do you regarding your claim that a tax people largely do not even notice paying has an effect on their support for the pipeline.
My opinion is based on the fact that the polls showing support for the pipeline all come at the exact same time the issue with BC challenging the construction process in court was dominating the news....Feb-April of this year.
Here's an article....

Almost two-thirds of Canadians say B.C. is wrong in its attempts to derail the federally approved pipeline.
“Having the discussion we’ve had over the last two weeks has been very positive,” said Tim McMillan, head of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers.
“The more they know about it, the more they’re inclined to support it.”
