I do not support it as a necessary act, but as an interesting idea. It is not essential to the succession of our nation, and if aboriginal groups do not support it, there is cultural interference happening. I am not supporting an act with the potential to create personal conflict.

I would like to see us gradually move away and transition away from fossil fuel, but as long as we limit the environmental damage, sure. And as long as, aboriginals, provinces, and citizens agree to the project. I understand the social and economic benefits, but if we're going to use pipelines, I would much prefer LNG than oil.

No, we have basically waged war on local tribes by allowing militias and even used the US army to help against those who would stand in your way. Not to mention the history or pipelines leaking and destroying the environment just for this energy source.

Yes, assuming all measures can be taken to ensure reduced impact on the environment and affected communities.

Yes, as long as the corporations building the pipeline and operating the pipeline have UNLIMITED LIABILITY and either sufficient assets or bonding in place to clean up an environmental disaster. If the cost of the potential loss or bonding is prohibitive, then this is a market force that will drive stakeholders to alternatives.

No, bitumen should not be transported by ship especially in such a treacherous and sensitive environment

Yes, but only with agreements between all parties being formalized, including Aboriginal bands and strict penalties for non-adherence or future failures causing environmental harm or damage.
