An Early Voter’s Guide to Trudeau (Bad) and Scheer (Worse) | The Tyee
Trudeau overpays for a pipeline carrying dirty oil through pristine rivers and forests in British Columbia;
He exempts certain tarsands projects from new environmental assessment rules in a crude trade-off with Alberta;
He considers loosening restrictions on the pollution of major rivers with toxic effluent from tarsands tailing ponds;
He allows the unregulated use of seismic blasting to explore for oil and gas on Canada’s east coast, right whales be damned;
And he has nothing to say about a pulp and
paper mill building a 10-kilometre pipe to carry and dump hastily
treated toxic effluent into prime fishing grounds in the Northumberland
Strait.
