@jeffcliff @Shlomo @grey They were using that kind of argument against the Trans Mountain pipeline despite the fact that all they were doing was twinning an existing pipeline, there wasn't additional risk when a pipeline was already there. And all the reservations we talked to wanted it built because the pipeline was a big part of their revenue stream. But lobby groups got in the way of local native interests.

Plus I don't see how eastern Canada importing oil from Saudi Arabia instead of their own domestic, much more environmentally regulated product, helps the environment at all.
