This blog post and the blog its on is dedicated to discussing jobs and benefits related to Northern Gateway. If you're interested in discussing other issues related to the project, there are five other subject themes listed in the menu on the left, including the Oil and Energy blog which includes posts on Enbridge's efforts in the renewable energy sector, like this one: [url]http://www.northerngateway.ca/news-and-media/northern-gateway-blogs/oil-and-energy/enbridge-generates-more-solar-power/[/url] Respectfully, we disagree with the statement "the vast majority don't want this pipeline." A January 2012, independent nation-wide poll found support for the project is greater than opposition: [url]http://www.northerngateway.ca/news-and-media/northern-gateway-blogs/trade-diversification-for-canada/strong-support-for-northern-gateway-poll/[/url] Another poll found that 75 per cent of Canadians believe Canada should diversify its energy export markets beyond the United States, which is what Northern Gateway will help to achieve: [url]http://www.lfpress.com/news/canada/2012/02/01/19326076.html[/url] Mon, 30 Apr 2012 16:33:08 -0600 Northern Gateway http://www.northerngateway.ca/news-and-media/northern-gateway-blogs/jobs-and-benefits/alberta-construction-group-urges-support-for-gateway/#PageComment_341 http://www.northerngateway.ca/news-and-media/northern-gateway-blogs/jobs-and-benefits/alberta-construction-group-urges-support-for-gateway/#PageComment_340 Enough about jobs already! We get it, the pipeline will create jobs...so will alternative energy, and at much less of a risk. How about you try asking Canadians. The vast majority don't want this pipeline and last I checked, we're still a democracy. This should be up to the entire country, not just those who will benefit from it. I'm sure this comment will be suppressed, but at least someone somewhere will see it. For shame.
