Canada should enact emergency measures to build nationalized pipeline capacity capable of transporting current heavy crude volumes plus growth to BC to reach tidewater. Use the previous fresh right of ways and path that TMX just used and build another line and then figure out the marine export piece, I’ve heard that’s a bottleneck. Enact emergency measures and basically force it through without consultation processes immediately. Try to have it built within a 2-3 years.

Honestly I'm down with this, but whatever cost not only flows to whatever rights indigenous territory holds but also local businesses. I used to work at the Redwoods Golf course that got decimated by the OG TMX pipeline where they were closed down for two years. Are we cool with this type of stuff again? Can we as a whole country get behind this with the backing of our Indigenous fellow Canadians?
