Should the government allow TransCanada to expropriate private property for the construction of the Keystone pipeline?

Allow the pipeline by seeking consent from landlords and revive oil sands! Allow oil production in oil sands.

Yes, but only if they consent and are compensated for it

Yes, if the landowners are fairly compensated AND that's if the pipeline even goes through to begin with.

Only if there are no alternative solutions and only if the property owners are fairly compensated. the economy is important for the future of Canadians

Not, not unless the landowners are fairly compensated & all Indigenous communities in the area agree.

It should be supported if land owners are fairly compensated, and a reduction of oil production from tar sands.

No the government should respect private property. If a Private company wants to expropriate private property they must compensate a fair market prices

Only if the land owners agree to it with a fairly compensated agreement.

TransCanada should compensate for using their land and lost resources

Only if the landowners give permission and are fairly compensated

No the pipeline is a poor idea, why are we sending raw materials out of the country when we could refine and use them locally to reduce costs to the people that live here. Don’t get me started on how invasive it will be to the remaining wilderness. Stop obsessing over oil and gas, its non renewable and it will run out, its high time to move on from fossil fuels.

Only if the landowners agree to it AND are appropriately compensated

If owners are compensated. We should have a nationalized energy sector.

ion fucjing know

Yes, but only if the landowners agree to sign over their land and are fiarly compensated. Almost more like a sale than expropriation

ask local comunities and experts

Yes, but only on land that is not owned by anybody and/or any indigenous people.

Yes, unless the land is currently owned by Indigenous Peoples or is unceded land.

Yes, but as a lease agreement with landowner so they are fairly compensated including dividends on future profits, and only if the land is not already in-use (farming, business, trails, etc) at the landowner's discretion.

I'd rather see them pay right of way leases to land owners

No expropriation but allow negotiations. And get pipelines built to meet demand.

Private property should not be able to be expropriated by anyone.

No, expropriation is wrong and the pipeline should only be built upon approval from all of the land owners.

No, the owners should be given the right to negotiate for compensations and/or sales of the land.

Up to owners and extreme regulations must be met so it doesn’t hurt our environment.

No, do not build the pipeline and create a plan to replace the oil production in the tar sands with a more sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative

A stronger discussion should be had between the government and the first nation peoples to make a compromise between the two parties. The land should be protected while also allowing the pipeline to be built elsewhere to provide employment for the first nations peoples surrounding the area of the pipeline.

No, this may pressure private land owners into taking money at their long term jealth and safety

If the landowners are compensated and give consent to the project

With the consent of the landowners of that private property, we can financially compensate them and provide them another home away from the construction of the pipeline.

only if there is no other option

No, the government should never be allowed to expropriate private property

To much to understand

Yes, if the landowners willingly consent and are fairly compensated

No, do not build the pipeline and shut down all oil production in the tar sands, we should invest in cleaner alternatives

There should at least be a consensus for the community.

I don’t know what this means

Whatever would benefit Canadians the most

This is a hard issue that needs to account for damage that could be incurred and compensation for land needed

I don’t what that is

Yes if landowners agree to the compensation

If landowners are fairly compensated, first nations are consulted. i would prefer renewables or LNG pipelines, but for temporary or economic success, I could see it as necessary

No, and reroute the pipeline away from private property

No. Come up with a plan with the people living in those communities that everyone agrees on before continuing with work on the pipelines. When done right the pipelines can be a really great opporitunity for a lot of people in Canada

I don't really see the point in giving the pipeline project a private property when it's only harming the environment even more.

If the owners of said property allow it and if allowed get paid compensation

Yes, if the landowners are fairly compensated and they agree to give up their land

Unqualified to answer

Yes as long as the company is held accountable to the communities their harming the most
