No oil pipeline on the list of projects of national interest

CBC

As Prime Minister Mark Carney's government prepares to announce the first projects of national interest it has selected, Radio-Canada has learned that no oil pipeline is on the list, according to three sources.

"There is no [oil] pipeline project on the table," one of them said, despite the federal government's promise to make Canada an "energy superpower."

Carney has never ruled out the idea of ​​supporting the construction of a new pipeline.

"We have to choose a few major projects, not necessarily pipelines, but maybe pipelines: we'll see," he said on the French-language TV show, Tout le monde en parle, during the election campaign.

The prime minister emphasized the importance of reaching a consensus with the provinces.

Behind the scenes, a Liberal source insisted that the absence of a pipeline on the initial list does not mean that one will never happen. Approval of a natural gas pipeline project is also not out of the question.


Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has consistently said she wants an oil pipeline among the first projects approved by Ottawa. She particularly dreams of a pipeline that would connect the oilsands to northern British Columbia.


Radio-Canada reported Smith and her federal counterpart discussed pipelines earlier this summer. Carney was clear: the involvement of a private developer was essential for a project to move forward.


So far, no company has expressed interest in financing or carrying out such a project.

Disappointment in Alberta


Smith's office blames the current regulatory environment for hampering pipeline development.

You may find 'nobility' in a savage. But never forget that his first instinct is to kill you.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

The government's focus is denying free speech and "suiciding" citizens.

Why would any investor or company commit to a multi-year project in the petroleum sector when government approval can change on a dime down the road bankrupting them.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
