Well, I look at it differently. Rejecting an industrial project of this magnitude is an economic loss to a country that will face serious future decisions about rising costs in areas like health care.
It`s not likely I`ll ever convince anyone this project is desirable. At least you are not calling me a 'racist' all the time like that lying puerile twit Romero. The hearings for NG will begin next month and you`ll get to hear all arguments, but opponents will dominate it of course.
Of course it would be an economic loss. That being said it would only be an economic loss to the present value. The future value of the resource will likely inflate and the oil isn't going anywhere. There is nothing but corporate interest and/or greed that requires that it be extracted and sold immediately.
Thus, the only argument I perceive as being truly based on Canadian interest is opening a new market to provide price competition. If energy prices outpace inflation as virtually everyone expects that they will, time will have the same effect as the pipeline and doing nothing has no environmental impact.
You might convince me. It depends how good your arguments are.
