Do you support the Northern Gateway pipeline project?

We should process oil in canada instead of shipping to foreign markets without environmental regulations

I would like to see this implemented but only if the government and the companies transporting the resources overseas can guarantee and follow through with their promise with yearly well-designed checks and public reports stating their success at transporting the resources with the least amount of environmental damage and no oil spills

Yes, so long as private companies and contractors have no hand in it, we must nationalize our natural resources, we just must also do it efficiently and properly, which means keeping privately contracted public works companies and middle men out of it as well.

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.

No, This hurts the multiple years of our national human societal race that came from more important backgrounds than worthless whole whites, also yeah aboriginals should have something to decide as such as us as well.

Yes, as long as it provides serious environmental risks, especially to those in Aboriginal communities

I do support it but at the same time I don't, i'm in the middle. I say this because this is a good idea but what if it breaks or leaks and there is a lot of money going into it.

Yes, energy sources should be diversified to include both renewable sources, and safe transportation on existing fuel sources. While there needs to be a significant increase in the development of renewable energy infrastructure, this project had to be seen to completion to avoid wasteful financial penalties for breaking contract agreements.

Yes- canadian oil and gas projects are at least properly regulated, and workers are fairly compensated.. Our appetite and reliance is far too great to prohibit these projects while accepting oil and gas from overseas. However, our efforts should be focused on reducing reliance on oil and fas altogether.

Yes, its good for the economy and social welfare, but make sure that they fully meet the environmental standards to preserve wildlife.

yes, but take steps to do less harm to ecosystems and the indigenous communities, even if the cost is higher

The 'learn more' doesn't help understanding.

do not have enough info to answer.

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.

This is a far too complex situation to answer with a yes/no question. The process was botched from the start, and so it may be fair to say that in the state that the project is in, it should not proceed.

No. It might have some benefits but the environment is being destroyed and the local people are mostly against it. Additionally the company doesn't have the greatest history.

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, provided the project is well-planned and engineered for safety, with evidence-based guarantees that it will provide significant social and economic benefits to the region, including First Nations communities.

Go east first

yes, according to me it is very helpful project for society as it provides many benefits to society.

No, we should not build any new pipelines and instead fund renewable energy projects while slowly fading out our oil industry.

if its actually an asset to our country or business yes

Yes, this is a well planned project that will provide significant social and economic benefits to the region, but until all or most of the Aboriginal bands this project affects agree to it. Or just for provinces that want or need the pipeline

Yes, if the money gained is invested into First Nation communities and renewable energy

Middle not informed enough to make a decision

No, the development will cause environmental damage.

Yes. Pipe line is way better then if there is a spill on water

No, pipelines are bad for the environment and oil is a sector that needs to be fazed out.

Yes. I think Canada should be self sustaining. We can have better control over how clean the oil we need is by using home grown. A pipeline to Quebec will be way more environmentally friendly and ethical than shipping oil from Saudi’s Arabia or Venezuela up the St Lawrence.

I am on the fence

I don't have enough knowledge about it.

Yes but only as a stop-gap for alternative energies. Building a pipeline with a shorter lifespan will allow Canada to leverage their oil and gas to market while creating an increase importance of exploring alternatives energy.

As long as the government doesn't pay for the infrastructure

Yes, until greener energy is more widely used creating cleaner alternatives

No, we should invest in renewable R&D or infrastructure rather than a sunset industry

Yes but don’t build through native communities.

only if all safety measures are going to be strictly adhered to and enforced

I’m unaware of it and would rather not comment on something I’m not informed in

If it is approved by the people and there are plans in place for environmental restoration once the pipeline is build then there is no problem

Don’t know enough the about pipeline to have a stance.

Yes until the aboriginal communities agree

not well enough informed

Canadai should make ots own fuel

The only way fossil fuels and other resources should be leaving Canada is in the form of manufactured products

Poor financial decision will not last long term

Yes, as long as private property rights are respected and tax payer money isnt used

We should be striving for significant and rapid change to sustainable energy.

Yes but only if Endbridge Funds fresh drinking water to the First Nation communities.

I support no new pipelines or any dependance on fossil fuels

Don’t know enough about the issue

We should evaluate the long-term liability of Canadian oil for the global market. It may become too expensive to produce and become a burden rather than a benefit. If long-term forecasts suggest viability, then build it

I’m of the mind that pipelines are the safest way to move oil products HOWEVER we should be striving for significant and rapid change to sustainable energy

Não sei bem o que é

No, concerns about property easements and Government funding of such projects make it impossible to support.

Need to read more about it

125% safety measures should be taken before. Predict possible environmental impact and situations before it happens. If you can create a pipeline for oil, we can create a pipeline for clean drinking water to lndigenous people.

No. We need to be focused on solar, wind, and geothermal energy. Clean energy.

Yes, if it it done safely and respects all stakeholders. There is still a market for oil. Why not let Western Canada access the market. How does a country, so proud of universal health care, pay for it without a reliable source of revenue. You can't keep tax punishing people who try to get ahead (and it's not the rich, by the way).

I am unsure at this moment/ don’t have enough information to formulate an opinion

For the time beinging until renewable energy can take over

Yes, and with minimal government regulations.

Yes, but only if every precaution and safety measure is taken. And if the majority vote by communities, not politicians, is reached.

No. The project's environmental assessment was incomplete!

No, and no further investments should be made into pipeline projects.

Yes and invest more in transportation research

I do support the project, so long as all Aboriginal bands this project affects agrees towards it. As I do believe this will provide social and economic benefits, but shouldn't become forced upon to the lands of the Aboriginal groups if they don't agree upon it.

Why do a pipeline at all? We could benefit more financially in the long run from invest in sustainable energy.

No bad for the people and environment

Don’t know enough about it

Yes, but direct it away from Aboriginal territory

Do not know enough about the subject matter to form and opinion

Yes, as long as it is regulated and held to an environment standard

Do it or don’t. This back and forth is a waste of money. Either get it done, because we still use fossil fuels or abandon it entirely towards a 100% shift to natural resources.

no, not all indigenous groups agree and also the areas where they want to build the pipeline are horrible

Only temporarily until more renewable resources, and enforce it so it doesn't destroy the land

No the project should not occur. As well, the government should pay miners to perform labor involving renewable energy sources instead.

No - I'm tired of subsidizing dying industries, subsidize transition for energy companies to renewables

We should be useing green energy to end our dependency on foreign fuel first with the goal of transitioning our energy to green

No, it has major environmental disadvantages

ultimately no because although it will provide social and economic benefits for the country in the short term future. It is not sustainable for long term life and we should already be looking into better energy and economic sources.

All pipelines should be shuttered and any petroleum transport should be done be rail.

Canadian Oil, should be processed in Canada and made of use to Canadians. - End reliance on Imported Oil . - If we have so much to give away to China.. then that means we have enough to last us eternity. Our Resources should employ and support our lives.

The existing pipelines are okay just dont make anymore

No, but I understand the economic benefits and don't mind it being constructed if provinces and the US and Canada agree to it. Not to mention if natives and citizens consent to the construction on their private property

Yes as we still rely on oil at this point but we can’t ignore those that oppose the project and we can’t ignore the development of renewable energy either transitions need to be made.

Yes, as long as the people who own the land consent and are properly compensated.

It isn’t a problem with me

Yes if regular maintenance and leak prevention are done.

Only if there will not be anymore tankers that are already in our waters. More tankers will harm our environment in many ways.

yes but with compassion for the people, animals, and nature that are affected negatively.

Yes, after all affected ndigenous bands agree to it.

Yes, and crush and native resistance using military force if needed.

No, we should move away from oil because it negatively affects the environment and people. Anything that affects the land should be decided by Indigenous people

Don’t support neither support

I think pipelines are also not great for the environment and installation is hard but the other option is no better
