Jason Kenney's government has launched an inquiry into who funds groups that criticize Alberta’s oil industry.

Your Trump style of politics is not Welcome here! We here on the West Coast will not be brushed off as foreign interest groups.

I am a person from this land since time immemorial my ancestors lived on this land. So I will not be the generation that sells it out! We take care environment, it takes care of us.

There are three unopposed corridors to tidewater , why don’t you partner up the federal government and build a Canadian owned pipeline under one them , in case you still don’t see Mr Kenny let this underdesirabble BC oil gas worker tell what those corridors are , 1 being the trans Canada hwy which goes to coast to coast and the other two are our boarders which run to coast to coast .

You are flogging a dead horse. Get real and get into the future. Killing the planet is not the answer. Renewable and sustainable resourses and energy is the future.

Premier Kenney, our world and it’s health are more important than temporary monetary gain. Please understand that we don’t have decades left to correct our mistakes. The climate is suffering and we need to go green now. You have a lot of pressure and responsibility on your shoulders, I hope you will do what’s right for the planet.

If you pay a visit to everyone who lives on the hugely-ramped-up and poorly considered TMX pipeline path all the way out to sea, I predict you will hear overwhelming resistance as a majority of those residents tell you of their fears and concerns. At the end of the line, Burnaby’s Westridge Terminus is 13 miles down Burrard Inlet from Vancouver, and it is a dangerous place to pin marine operations on. Vancouver harbour is already congested! To put 7 times more plus-sized Aframax carriers in the water besides will increase risk of collision and spills to a probability factor of not “when will it happen?” to “it WILL happen.” It would just be a matter of time. The risk of tank farm conflagration or blowout or spill at sea or terrorism is so great that it has been illustrated that should any of those events happen, at least 1 million people would immediately have to be evacuated in face of vastly insufficient first responder facilities, and the financial consequence to Commerce and Industry would be in the billions. Aside from substantial residential property losses besides, the Environmental cost to flora and fauna on land and sea is incalculable. Here is a compelling fact for your final consideration: all other major cities put industrial hazardous material sites on the = outskirts = of town, not smack dab in the middle of its populace! A TMX pipeline that exits from Burnaby in the beating heart of the Greater Vancouver Regional District is sheer madness because it makes an epicentre “bulls-eye” of all GVRD suburbs which will also be affected. In conclusion, you will not find informed Lower Mainlanders in favour. We say: Not here. Not now. Not ever! TMX terminus is in the WRONG PLACE and when the paradigm shift to Alternative Energy and eco-friendly products is taking off around the globe, this pipeline also comes at THE WRONG TIME in history. Please read these comments on this thread and take time to fully inform yourself of other choices you could be making towards a brighter future instead of supporting a dying industry with the capacity to take innocent lives captive. Choose life. Thank you.

You have to be like the fishermen from the East Coast and reinvent yourselves….keep that poison in the ground please.

Dear Jason

Please can you send me the address of anyone who will send me money to fight the pipeline project. So far I’m doing it for free but If there’s funding available please let me know asap.

Sincerely

Gillian

Canada and the world do not need a twinned pipeline or more Alberta bitumen from the tarsands. Join us and save our planet and all it’s inhabitants (That’s people, animals both land and marine, insects, trees)

My husband and I are seniors on a fixed income and are concerned for young people because of the climate crisis. It is stupendously ignorant to put in a pipeline during a crisis when we have 11 years to make the planet safe. People are dying of the heat now in some countries and last summer in BC because of fires, we had the worst climate in the world on Vancouver Island. It was for a brief time but even that is too long for people with asthma or respiratory problems. What is wrong with you? Scientific facts are readily available. But if you know somebody is writing cheques to fund the protest, send them our address. Right now we are fighting for free and donating because we want the next generstion and their children to survive.

If you had the balls to have children and grandchildren you would also fight to save our planet instead of fighting for our extinction.

Hydrocarbons are an obsolete technology that is killing our planet and all the life on earth is in danger of extinction.

As a Canadian and BC resident I vehemently oppose the TransMountain pipeline. Get used to the opposition as we are not going anywhere and we are not giving up on stopping this disasterous project when we have a CLIMATE EMERGENCY IN CANADA!!! What part of that don’t you understand??

I donated money to try to stop the Trans Mountain Pipeline and fight climate change. I am a person who is very concerned about the environment. I am someone who wants to do everything I can to support the rights of Indigenous people so they can decide what happens on their lands. I am not foreign, I am not a billionaire, I have no real interests outside of Canada. I was born and raised here and I am just an ordinary citizen who contributes what they can to support the causes I believe in. I am glad I don’t live in Alberta though, because I do think this is a colossal waste of taxpayers money.

Oil is a dying industry Jason.

I’m a sixth generation Canadian. I have three children. I don’t need “foreign funding” to know that Climate Change is a crisis situation that we need to deal with NOW! And broke as I am, I will pitch in every spare $5 or $10 I can muster to put a stop to Alberta’s dirty, climate-destroying tar sands patch!

our family are the coast protectors Nita tashoots

Shame on you Jason Kenney for being so narrow minded. Where on earth did you get your education?! Who is feeding you this garbage information and why are you buying it? Why are you not trying to help Albertans in a meaningful way? How can you possibly justify this direction you are taking and and the huge waste of taxpayers money? They need real solutions to their problems not denial…Alberta needs a leader not someone who will waste money and more importantly TIME making things even worse than they are now for Albertans….not to mention the rest of the people who live on this planet!

I will continue to fight this pipeline and encourage as many people as i can to take action by donating, protesting, making calls, writing MPs, knocking on doors, whatever anyone can do to support organizations like coast protectors who are fighting for climate action.

Hi Jason,

Nice try, but we are absolutely Canadians opposing your dirty oil, just like we have been all along. If we are receiving any ‘funding from abroad’ at all, it can be a drop in the bucket compared to the international corporations investing so heavily in promoting your oily agenda. No new pipelines. No pipeline expansions. Leave our coast out of your dirty mess – you’ve already got enough of a cleanup ahead of you in Alberta!

I believe your policies will destroy Alberta you politicians need to wake up, use the expertise of the oil workers to build “green” energy instead of wasting money on the dinosaur oil and LNG projects.

I can’t even begin to believe that what you store doing is right, for anyone

Dear Mr. Kenney, with great respect I would like to remind you that we all live in the same country and on the same planet, and humans as well as all its other creatures are biological beings that are highly dependent on and affected by their environment. As there is boundless amount of science (not the type generated by the oil companies) about it, you must be aware of the detrimental consequences mining the oil sands and transporting their bitumen causes. I kindly ask you to take the life of humans and other creatures into consideration ahead of the potential (but also already very insecure) profit still left in digging out more oil and while doing this, think of your own family and loved ones. One day you may discover that some of them and possibly yourself may be just as affected. There are better ways if you are willing to look for them. It is also not difficult to find that there is already more money to be made and jobs to be found in clean energy than in fossil fuel. I call on your humanity and conscience and as the Premier of Alberta, to please act with more care for all people (near and far) and their environment. Become a leader of the future, not of the past!

Hi Jason. We’re Canadians and we support the opposition to TMX. We haven’t gotten any foreign money.

Bronwen and Vic Brice

The First Nations people opposed to this project have been here for something like 30,000 years! My family have been in Canada since the 1700! I help fund this opposition as best I can and with small donations and getting out on the street, writing my representatives and VOTING. I oppose the expansion of the TMX and I oppose the expansion of the Tar Sands. I use to live in Alberta and I even at one point worked in the oil and gas industry in Alberta. BUT we all have to get off of fossil fuels ASAP! And Alberta — you really have to get with the program — stop your stupid, idiotic, divisive waste of money. Stop your propaganda initiative. Become responsible citizens instead of immature cry babies. You are wasting your resources idiotically! Become fiscally responsible and become ecologically responsible.

Using Taxpayer’s money to DEFEND Foreign-Owned Big Oil? FOR SHAME!! No more Federal Subsidies for the Foreign-Owned Big Oil PARASITES

We need to reduce climate pollution 50% by 2030 to protect our children’s future. Building new pipeline infrastructure that will last for 40 years doesn’t fit with that. Stop now. Protect our children.

BC coast dweller who cares deeply about one of the last slivers if wilderness in the world, my home and home to delicate species on the brink of extinction.

I don’t support the oil and gas industries making billions at the expense of our environment. Wake up Mr. Kenney – climate change is real.
