They claim to be doing it to save the planet but it won't alter the climate an iota. Their actions only hamper Canadian production and all the benefits that derive from it.

In the name of phony global salvation, Canadians are being screwed, by our own know-nothing "leaders" and activists:
What is so hard to fathom is the why to Liberal opposition in Quebec and Ontario to this particular pipeline. It is not as if the millions of private vehicles in Quebec are going to cease operating with, or without this delivery route.
