They strongly oppose it. They will not have pipelines. So what, the 40 million Canadians get ####ed because of the desires of a few?

Moreover, personally I think this is a super critical juncture in this nation’s history. I believe our sovereignty is at stake. The US strategy here is to crush us economically and then come in and say hey, join us, and you won’t have economic pain. In that context, how do indigenous think it’s going to be after being taken over by the USA? Will the billions in reconciliation transferred to Canadian First Nations continue with a country that has no economy or worse doesn’t even exist? Hell, the FN groups should be begging for this to be built.

Honestly, the ones who sound like wingnuts are the ones still thinking that Canadian environmental and oil and gas regulatory frameworks that got us into this disaster are the perfect recipe to get us out of it. Yeah let’s go poll people who hate pipelines to see if they’ll let us have an economic future.

They would exploit the absolute ####.out of us
