This is TransCanada. The people said no to the Northern Pipeline, so TransCanada came up with another one.

The new Prime Minister hasn't said no to this one.

TransCanada is basically bankrupt. They must have some interesting accounting. The reason the CEO doesn't quit even in the face of rejection by the people because he wants bonuses from SOMETHING. He wants to appear to be valuable to the stockholders. NOT!

Look at that gorgeous land. And TransCanada, the blight of North America, wants to put a pipeline through it. Those hills are covered with forest. Very valuable CARBON SINKS. But, who cares? Certainly, not TransCanada.

The company should declare bankruptcy and get it over with, all their buddies are.

While Enbridge’s (TSX:ENB) Northern Gateway Project (click here) suffered a fresh setback Friday after British Columbia’s Kitimat residents rejected the pipeline in a non-binding plebiscite, a First Nations-backed consortium revealed it is seeking to build an alternative duct to transport bitumen form the country's oil sands in Alberta to the West Coast.
In a statement Monday, Eagle Spirit Energy Holdings and Vancouver-based Aquilini Group say they have signed non-disclosure agreements with a substantial number of First Nations in northern British Columbia to earn a “social licence” for the project.
“It has taken over a year of carefully listening to the feedback and concerns of First Nations communities to learn what it might take to earn a social licence for such an important project,” the chairman and president of Eagle Spirit Energy Holdings, Calvin Helen, said.
The company’s proposal is to build a pipeline connected to an upgrader in northern Alberta or northeastern B.C., which it is said to minimize impacts on the coastal and inland waters, wildlife, and neighbouring communities....

Such a beautiful land. It doesn't need oil spoiling it and killing the marine life and sustainable fishing and neither do we. 

Here is a challenge to everyone. Find a national park and find a breath taking overlook. When you look at it, know that land was protected for your children and their generation and your grandchildren and their grandchildren so they will know how beautiful Earth sincerely is when we protect what is important to protect.

What if all that beauty was gone? Would generations from now know the true nature of Earth and it's importance? Kindly think about what environmentalists and conservationists have in their heart when they fight the good fight. 

The fight is important and the outcomes more important.
