Canadians Weigh Pipeline Pros and Cons | Canada News

A new poll reveals surprising support for Canadian oil pipelines, with 63% backing the Alberta-to-B.C. project and 55% for the Alberta-to-Ontario route—even in B.C., 62% approve. Economic benefits top the list of reasons, with 55% citing global oil sales, 51% stressing oil’s national importance, and 45% highlighting job creation. But pushback remains: 41% favor renewables, 34% doubt broad economic gains, and 30% worry about environmental risks. National support for the Alberta-B.C. pipeline rose to 63%, strongest in Alberta (76%) and weakest in Quebec (50%). The Alberta government officially launched its proposal to move 1 million barrels daily. Amid wildfires, Prime Minister Carney defends climate investments alongside pipeline deals, while critics like the Bloc Québécois question the strategy’s consistency.
