Interprovincial cooperation? In my Canada?
Canada needs an east west pipeline that bypasses America for its own national security.
>Despite continuing trade tensions with the U.S., Mr. Ford said he still believes in “Fortress North America – in supporting each other, putting a ring around” the continent.
Invite the snake into your tent and zip it shut so it can’t escape.
This tariff war must be breaking DoFo’s heart. He’s a jilted lover.
With the litigation going on in Michigan this seems more likely. When I first heard it I thought “this is going to cost tens if not 100+ billion dollars and it’s completely uneconomical”. I still expect the Enbridge pipeline being litigated in Michigan will be the source for Ontario to get almost all its oil but maybe not if this gets serious traction.
This is what Canada needs. We don’t need Facebook posts or slogans, we need action. If we truly want to distance ourselves and grow we need to start investing in ourselves with infrastructure and industry and agriculture development
The reason the pipelines go south of the Great lakes is because there is soil to bury them in. There’s no oil pipeline across the north shore of Superior and down to Sarnia because of the 1400km of Canadian sheld. Putting them above ground on the shield where they are exposed to temperature swings of 70C (-40 to +30) is a major engineering challenge. I’m not saying it can’t be done, just that the reason there isn’t allready a pipeline has nothing to do with politics. Its because it’s extremely difficult and thus very expensive to build and operate something like that.
Provincial premiers getting things done to improve the economy and jobs. This is why conservatives get elected
As long as we collect tolls equal to our share of the construction cost, then I have no objection.
But the profits will all be privatized, right?
