Environment vs Economy?

from The Weekend Podcast with Dr. Greg Glatz

No Canadian city has been harder hit by the economic downturn than Calgary. Unemployment is over 10%, downtown office tower vacancy rates are at 25%, and a sense of unease hangs in the air. So, there was a tangible sigh of relief in Cowtown when the Trudeau government announced it was approving the $6.8-billion expansion of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline and approving Enbridge Line 3. But not everyone is happy with this decision, including a significant number of environmental and indigenous groups. Calgary MP and cabinet minister Kent Hehr explains why the Trudeau government thinks pipelines are the right way to build the economy and protect the environment.
