Perhaps most informative, overwhelming responders agree our oil is more "ethical" than Saudi Arabia, and YET they STILL don't support these initiatives. Sort of says that argument, agree or not, is irrelevant to thought process beyond, it's still dirty, no matter the "ethic" consideration.

Where was this survey taken? According to the recent report of Pembina, NRDC and Living Oceans, fully 80% of British Columbians are opposed to the Kitimat supertanker proposal. From what I can tell that's probably quite accurate.

Sorry, I spotted the link after my previous comment. Financial Post, eh? I still think Big Oil and their Overpaid Political Stooge are seriously underestimating the opposition they're going to face in British Columbia.

MoS,

I've got friends back in BC and NOBODY is for this. Municipal politicians lost their jobs over it a month ago, even though there isn't much that level of gov. is capable of doing one way or another.

Im a British Columbian and I dont anyone who is for any pipeline in BC. I havent talked to Fred From BC though but I expect he'd lecture us on being rude or childish

Ask if the population wants oil tankers to glide up and down the St Lawrence river every day and you'll get the same numbers.

Oh, and for those who don't know; this already happens and it's not going to stop no matter how icky it makes people feel.

Stopping something that is already happening and stopping something FROM happening are very different games.

Surely to flying spaghetti monster you're not naive enough to think that public opposition to something still has any influence over what big oil/government/corporate interests actually do?

You're not children are you?

Are you?
