A part of me wants Enbridge’sLine 5 pipeline to shut down, if only for a few months, not because I wish our country ill, but because I want what’s best for it.
What’s best for Canada is energy self-sufficiency and security, and that’s simply impossible without pipelines. Shutting down this vital energy lifeline, even temporarily, would provide a collective slap to the lives and livelihoods of Ontarians and Quebecers — along with their pandering politicians — that would help jolt them out of their anti-pipeline dreamland and into reality.
For the most part, Canadians are energy illiterate. There are people in Canada — many thousands, in fact — who believe Canadians can survive and thrive in our vast and mostly cold country without petroleum products. Those people are living in a fantasy land and only such a jolt would forcibly drag them into the real world.
