When asked if they would support pipeline expansion of either LNG or oil to get Canadian resources to markets other than the US, 7 in 10 Canadians said they approve. (70.3%) with a near majority strongly approving. (49.2%). This includes clear majority approvals in every region of Canada, highest in Alberta (80%) and lowest in the Prairies (61%).
Interesting findings by Mainstreet. Especially abt QC.
Talk about spin!
I’m skeptical of their conclusion given the current sentiment towards the US from Canadians, its more likely that people would rather we export elsewhere. As in
Making these findings less about pipeline approval and more about resource export diversification.
It will be interesting to see if the rest of the media start talking positively about pipelines in the coming months.
