Blinkered, knee-jerk reaction against pipelines has always seemed to be fundamentally stupid to me. There is no magic wand to wave that will miraculously eliminate our oil dependency. The tie to begin finding ways to do so is now. In the meantime, we will go on using oil (yes, even those virulently opposed in Vancouver and elsewhere). Build the pipeline; let Alberta ship its oil to market and generate jobs across the country. And start paving the way for a greener future. If we can't figure out a way to square that circle, we'll eventually all be freezing in the dark.
