CBC reports that The future of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project is once again being called into question this time by a new report that argues the mix of competing pipelines, changes in energy demand and shifts in international prices could wreak havoc on the project's business case. Canadian producers could be worse off [and] could lose $4 to $6 per barrel. https://www.cbc.ca//trans-mountain-pipeline-oilsands-1.578

New research from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives and David Hughes shows that extra capacity from the Trans Mountain Expansion Project is not needed AND will likely result in losses for Canadian oil producers. This new report confirms Tsleil-Waututh’s economic analyses from 2019 (https://twnsacredtrust.ca//TWN-Gunton-June-2019-expert-CBA), and demonstrates that the failed economic case for Trans Mountain has, in fact, gotten even worse. #StopTMX #TMX https://www.policyalternatives.ca/No-TMX

It is our responsibility to be the voice of those who do not have one, like the orca and the salmon. Chief Dan George Article by Tsleil-Waututh's Charlene Aleck https://truthout.org//the-tmx-pipeline-threatens-first-n/

While some pipeline expansion may be warranted, spending $12.6 billion of taxpayer funds to build a pipeline when private sector companies are adding more than enough capacity to meet Canada's need without any taxpayer support is hard to justify. https://www.cbc.ca//opinion-thomas-gunton-pipelines-oil-de
