I honestly don't care about pipelines getting built. If it makes sense do it, if it doesn't then don't. It contributes may 1% of Canada's greenhouse gas emissions, so there is much improvement to be made in many other areas.
Thunberg can lambast Canadian pipelines all day long. She'll have her supporters and she'll have her detractors, just like every other anti and pro-pipeline person out there with a microphone. They will still get built because there is a market for it. I don't care if she's mad at Canada for it. Big whoop.
One thing you may notice is that she intentionally avoids recommending specific policies. She even said " “I can’t really speak up about things like [politics] .... no one would take me seriously.” She defers quite often for politicians to instead listen to scientists with data to support. In recent cases, she has deferred to the huge report released by the IPCC. She did this in lieu of testifying to the U.S. House.
