2/ What is our government doing? This project defies common sense - this is corporate welfare on a surreal scale, giving a gift to an industry making $90 billion in excess profits this year, and which still refuses to pay for its own infrastructure. It makes a mockery of the duty to consult First Nations, guaranteed under our constitution. You can’t approve a project and then engage in consultation: that is just a pipeline to the courts. #canada #cdnpoli #climateChange

@avilewis@mstdn.ca The only excuse anyone has given me for this project is that Canada needs the wealth that selling our oil gives us, in order to invest in green policies. But there's never an answer a pipeline for oil is the investment of choice, instead of things that create jobs & build on our skills here. Many experts say that Canada has the education & expertise to get into sectors like high tech manufacturing. Things where the investment = jobs & furthering military & climate objectives.
