Kinda like Montreal not wanting a pipeline despite both Montreal and Quebec city dumping raw sewage into the St. Lawrence.
Quebec has the same mentality though. Tankers and pipelines are just fine if they are used to supply Quebec but heaven forbid they supply anyone else.
it is insane to suggest that local governments should have any kind of veto over transportation infrastructure.
I want to put a highway through your living room - too bad for you.
Actually they can do that as long as they give you at least fair market value for your property. It's called expropriation.
Because oil and sewage are so the same.
I started typing this yesterday and then decided against posting it. If someone really can't tell why poop and bitumen are different there is really no use arguing.
I want to put a railroad beside your bedroom, but you get zero because it is not your property I am expropriating.
No one is advocating pumping bitumen into the ocean.
Yet another reason why the sewer argument has no place in the discussion.
I think the point is, concern for the environment can be very selective.
Which bring us back to JMT’s post with which I agreed.
