Hey Cardboard, I don't know how is your French, but here is a paper I pretty much agree with: http://mi.lapresse.ca/screens/a12d1969-dd02-4953-b002-6540401f1697__7C___0.html?utm_medium=Facebook&utm_campaign=Microsite+Share&utm_content=Screen
We have had those discussions in the past about environmentalists blocking pipelines. While I am not pro-pipelines, I do agree that it is much better to work toward reducing our petrol consumption, making them obsolete, than fighting ad nauseam to block them. What I am afraid though is that we are not doing enough and that IMO should be part of the governement job to accelerate the transition toward a zero carbon world. Seeing the PLC wanting to invest in pipelines is quite weird. I can understand them not wanting to be at war with Alberta, but there are some limits. And when Trudeau says that we don't have to compromise between environment and economy, he forget to say that's what we've been doing for a many decades already.
And I do agree that it is quite hypocritical from BC (or Quebec) on that matter to be heavily against pipelines while not putting all efforts to reduce our needs for oil. Still, it is legitimate to ask questions about assets that are riky, particularly when you are just a way of passage and that it doesn't provide a lot of benefit to you, as would have been the case for Energy East in Quebec for example.
