A near-majority of Canadians support the development of a new oil pipeline to meet international demands for energy, and economic demands at home, while nearly three-quarters say pipelines are important to Canada’s economic future, new polling from Leger shows.
In an online survey of just over 4,000 Canadian adults from coast-to-coast, 49 per cent said they support the Alberta government’s plan for a new oil pipeline connecting the province to the northwest coast of British Columbia, opening up markets for Canadian energy in Asia.
