It’s already never been harder to build a pipeline in Canada. From 2009 to 2016, the time it took to get a permit for an oil or gas pipeline increased here to 681 days from 357 days. In Trump’s America, however, the time it took peaked at 561 days in 2015 and dropped to as low as 336 days by 2017, says the Canadian Energy pipeline association.
But now Trump wants more pipelines and less successful legal challenges opposing them. The New York Times and Washington Post report that the Trump administration will instruct federal agencies to no longer take climate change into account when measuring the impact of major infrastructure projects.
The Trudeau Liberals, meanwhile, regularly preach we have a catastrophic global climate crises, so much so that a clause stipulating consideration of greenhouse gas emissions is a major piece of its new industrial project approval process, Bill C-69.
