In today’s National Post, I’ve got another letter to the editor on everyone’s favourite topic: the Trans Mountain pipeline. (I’ll stop repeating myself once people start listening!) My letter appears only in the print edition, so I cannot provide a link. Accordingly, here is the full text:
The pipeline crisis
Re: PM takes right tack on Trans Mountain, Andrew Coyne, April 17
Regarding the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, Andrew Coyne writes, “this is not a debate about a pipeline, or not any longer. It is about who decides.”
With all due respect, it absolutely is about the pipeline.
If greenhouse gas emissions do not peak and subsequently decline within the next couple of years, the world will fail to meet its commitment to limit warming to no more than 1.5 to 2 degrees Celsius. The time for building new fossil fuel infrastructure has come and gone — not just in other countries, but here at home, too.
To insist on procedural niceties — in the face of the climate chaos we risk unleashing and the burden we are placing on future generations — is narrow-minded provincialism at its worst.

Oh yes. It is definitely about pipelines and fossil fuels. And it Is about who decides. I thought we decided when we elected Mr. Trudeau and his sunny ways and his promises that we foolishly believed. Trudeau and the Paris Accord. It is completely offensive. As the old saying goes bullshit baffles brains. I would write more, but I am on my way up to Burnaby Mtn.
Good to hear from you, Sandra. Give ’em hell!
