It’s apparently too mind-bogglingly difficult to twin up a pipeline that’s been operating safely for half a century. Canada (because it’s the citizens who elect their government, are along in it with our virtualistic, myopic government) that deserves scorn.
Amen. Very well said.
The media deserves the most intense scorn, scrutiny, and some form of regulation (in my own opinion) as they play a huge role in turning a small issue into a major issue. (Or creating issues where there were none.)
The mainstream media and whatever side they take, or agenda they pursue, play a huge role.
And agreed, Canadians need to smarten up in a lot of ways. Until that happens - our government leaders will continue to casually waltz their way from one bad call to another,
To me, it has genuinely seemed like our current government
looks for ways to reduce it’s own income.
If they hadn’t said anything about the pipeline project in the first place, everything would be a whole lot further ahead.
Twinning an already existing pipeline to enhance safety & ensure the continued movement of goods if that pipeline has to be shut down for safety/environmental reasons is just practical, and doesn’t require 20 announcements.
Just twin the already existing pipeline, and say it is to ensure environmental safety if the existing pipeline has a spill/leak.
(Does it make sense? I don’t know, probably. Does what the government says have to make
any sense? Not one bit.)
There are dozens of big infrastructure projects on the go throughout the country that don’t get any real media attention. This should have been one of them.
