          No. Massive crude oil spilled into the watersheds of BC and Alberta would be far worse. The fact that this needs explaining to you is telling of your actual concern for the environment.

      No, it would be an ecological and humanitarian disaster.

      While Alberta’s ecosystem is barely hanging on thanks to decades of de-facto oil industry government. BCs is struggling from climate change.

      Then you have to thank Pierre Pollievre and Harper for the pipeline route that passes through at least one municipal watershed.

      But not Nestle’s watershed. They changed the route for Nestle.
