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

no wise culture would ever harm the environment.

The Government of Canada declares a climate emergency the night before we approve a toxic pipeline project. This makes zero sense! BItumen can not be cleaned up, regardless of how much of a “world class spill response plan” we have. We are facing an imminent climate catastrophe, confirmed by many renowned scientists, yet you are kicking the oil & gas can around down the road. We need renewable energy now! We do not need this pipeline in order to have renewable energy. That is BS! Shame on you Jason Kenney!!!

Transition your economy and energy production to come from green, renewable resources, and stop supporting and subsidizing a dying oil industry. This pipeline puts a fragile ecosystem across BC in danger and will threaten already endangered species like the Southern Resident Killer Whale to the point of extinction because of increased oil tanker traffic. Let’s also not forget that many times, these pipelines are built by cutting corners, which later leads to leaks and spills that cost millions to clean up and are devastating to local communities and ecosystems. This pipeline is dangerous, expensive, and will not boost long-term job creation the way you and Justin Trudeau believe it will. I know you’re beholden to oil lobbyists as a Conservative, but it’s time to actually look at the negatives and realize they are far, far outweighing any positives that this pipeline would supposedly bring.

Mr. Kenney,

I live within 1 km of the front gates to the Burnaby Terminal for Transmountain. The terminus for the Kinder Morgan pipeline. Today the tank farm is manageable in an emergency. With the proposed expansion, it has been declared by experts that an emergency at the tank farm could be catastrophic for the thousands of people who live, work and play in the immediate area.

This is my most pressing concern regarding the pipeline. If you are interested, I have several more reasons to follow.

Stop flirting with the Oil Men!

While you’re making such an effort could you take some time to figure out how much foreign investment is funding last century’s energy technologies, lobbying government, placing ads and otherwise contributing to the fossil propaganda machine? If you think Alberta’s economy is struggling now while the world still uses that filth you peddle just wait until the decline starts. It only needs to be a small decline and the worst muck will be the first to go. If Alberta ever gets a true leader they will be the one that moved you into the 21st century.

A great many Canadians think that your policies concerning oil are backward and downright dangerous. Humans needs to change if we are survive. You need to work on that. Have I received foreign funding to develop my opinion? No. Do I think indigenous peoples must be directly involved in decisions that affect them? Yes. Stop blaming everyone but yourself and your desperate base for the misfortune of the oil industry. Listen to the science and act accordingly. Shut down the tar sands and plant trees. Gosh, that is such a radical idea. So simple. It might even work.

My family and I are ABSOLUTELY OPPOSED to the Transmountain pipeline and its proposed massive increased bitumen oil supertanker traffic through our coastal waters. We are also very concerned about the oil tank farm increase in size 3 fold in the midst of a highly populated residential neighbourhood. Shame on you, Mr. Kenney!

Your tar sands are right out of Lord of the Rings or a horror story. The problem is that nobody wants to clean up things properly or take the right precautions. They don’t care…big business doesn’t care about anything but making a buck. They don’t care about the future because they are here now! Money talks and that’s all you care about. Your idea of a future is alot different than mine. I want a green earth and you want Mordor. You’re already there now. What a mess! That’s what you are leaving for your grandchildren and everyone elses. A BIG STINKING MESS!

Shame on you for being so obtuse and blinded by money in your pocket now. History will call you names and it won’t be ‘a forward thinking premier’.

I think its time to get serious about climate change. We need to think globally on transitioning from fossil fuels to clean energy. Alberta should be a leader in this regard and not the last nonbeliever. Time to be in with energy transition, not “in the way”

If it was your own money you were using, that would be okay but a disgrace to use tax dollars. You should be ashamed of yourself.

I am one of many who oppose the pipeline. I live by the ocean it could ruin by a leak or worse catastrophe. Why export our natural resource- build a couple refineries & make our oil useable for western Canada. We also need desperately to get off fossil fuels & use other energy sources. Become a hero & try to do both.

Born in Vancouver, raised in the Gulf Islands and my working career was in Victoria. The wilderness/ ocean/coast/ wildlife life and water are too precious to risk with your dodgy pipelines. Many Albertans retire to the coast because of the natural beauty and healthy environment here in BC

Invest in alternative energy sources and years of future benefits for your province and ours.

The planet is burning! Methane gas is being released in the Arctic and will raise our temperatures 8 degrees!! Be a leader, not a panderer to the fossil fuel industry! Lead your province into a GREEN economy! There are already more jobs in that industry than in fossil fuels!

What about the BILLIONS spent by big oil in promoting the fossil fuel industry in Canada and used to OWN politicians like you Cons

STOP. We are not your enemy. We are trying to protect our coastline which is the lifebread

of so many people here on the coast. Work to find alternative energy sources and stop poisoning

the world.

I’m sick and tired of all the lies coming from Alberta. This pipeline has nothing to do with providing oil for B.C….it’s going straight into tankers and off to Asia. We take all the risk…you take all the profit. And you can stop lying about losing jobs because of the pipeline. The tar sands has been cutting jobs for years because the big building phase is long gone and robots are running the machines.

I am a 74 year old white male who became addicted to fossil fuels at birth. Now that I am close to being a fossil myself I am quite prepared to give it up. For all the folk who come after me.

I oppose the trans. Mountain pipeline. I’m Canadian, I’m science, I’m reality. Listen to people not corporations.

I do not fear you Jason Kenney. There is a climate crisis and you are on the wrong side of fixing it.

i am a decent and law abiding Canadian citizen and I oppose the madness of continued tar sands development. You should be putting $billions into developing renewable energy like geothermal and solar. Moreover, why do my taxes have to pay for the developments wanted by various oil companies. Why don’t they pay for their infrastructure? Why do we have to subsidise this industry at all.

Your efforts to clamp down on free speech are fascist.

I oppose the destruction of Mother Earth. Stop the use of all non-renewable resources and change your economy to focus on alternative forms of energy. There are many to choose from that won’t hurt the environment!

Dear Premier Kenney; We are facing a very frightening future of environmental devastation wrought by humans and worsened by the resulting climate change. I suggest you think about the future rather than replicating the past: fund geothermal exploration; fund wind power projects, solar power projects. Put people to work researching and building sustainable power sources and restoring the landscapes devastated by abandoned oil wells and gas wells all over your province. There is lots of work to be done to build the future sustainably and repair the damage of the past. The past is over; get over it and move forward for all our sakes.
