#pipelines

For all of the focus on building another Trans Mountain pipeline or another Coastal GasLink pipeline across BC, if Canada wanted to service Europe with its "Energy" products, wouldn't it make more sense to build a pipeline to Churchill, MB? (Note, because we're quickly exiting the age of fossil fuels and have already entered the age of electricity I am not actually advocating this position, but it makes more economic sense than increasing the capacity of pipelines that aren't near their current capacity yet and which already service Asia which itself is rapidly electrifying. Canada's "fossil fuel energy" economy will only be economically viable for, like, 10 or 15 more years, TOPS!) #Discussion#CDNPoli #OilSands #TarSands #ABPoli #CanPoli #FossilFuels #EnergyEconomy #Canada #Alberta #MBPoli #Manitoba #Pipeline #Pipelines #Churchill #ChurchillMB

Instead of spending hundreds of billions of dollars on #pipelines and subsidies for O&G, #Canada needs to be making generation investments in #RenewableEnergy We could be investing in publicly owned solar panel and battery manufacturing, using materials sourced in Canada, which would not only meet all our energy needs in perpetuity but give us an exportable product for the foreseeable future. It would create more new jobs than we will lose when O&G inevitably dies AND if we make it publicly owned will provide public funds for social programming. #NoMorePipelines

This is another good depiction of how closely intertwined Canada and the US are. Not only are pipelines in Canada profitable for US companies but those wildfires are already affecting the air in US cities several miles/kilometres from the border. Nature does not have borders. Fire and smoke do not stop at imaginary human delineations. We already have to borrow firefighters from other countries to keep up. Canada has a lot of water compared to other countries but that’s dwindling. Pipelines already poison waters nearby and destroy animal habitats. According to this Canadian government stats site on pipeline incidents (https://www.bst.gc.ca/eng/stats/pipeline/2025/ssep-sspo-2025.html) there’s been over 60 pipeline fires in the last 10 years (16 were explosions) and about 350 incidents of “product released” (mostly natural gas). “Raw natural gas (before processing) is composed primarily of methane, and may also contain varying amounts of ethane, propane, butane, and pentane (commonly referred to as natural gas liquids - NGLs)” https://natural-resources.canada.ca/energy-sources/fossil-fuels/natural-gas-primer There’s 811 reported active fires across Canada (https://fireradar.ca/active-wildfires-canada) Half of those fires are in the provinces along this proposed new pipeline. #CanPol #USpol #Wildfires #Pipelines https://ottawa.place/@jd/116930414288563981

Just for fun, what if we juxtaposed a map of current wildfires with the route of Canada’s proposed eastern pipeline from Alberta to Sarnia? #wildfires #canada #pipelines #fossilfuels

If you want to be better prepared for when you find yourself talking to peope in your life about the proposed west coast pipeline, there's some great recommendations in this report. https://reclimate.ca/unpacking-canadians-contradictory-beliefs-about-climate-change-pipelines-and-renewables/ #CdnPoli #ClimateChange #pipelines
