TransCanada and Energy East Kissing New Brunswick Ass to get Pipeline through

Upyours-2

Editorial


By André Faust (The Lefteye Aug 31, 2016)

The propaganda never stops, TransCanada Pipeline and Canada East have invaded social media to persuade public opinion that the pipeline is the magic bullet that is going to pull New Brunswick out of bowels of depth to a have province that will be the of the rest of Canada.

What they don’t tell you is that on average there is 3 major critical malfunctions in the pipeline per year that has cause major environmental damage, and billions of tax payers money to clean up their mess.

What they do tell you is the 100 of thousands a jobs that the construction of the pipeline will create, If those numbers are correct they are not going to be New Brunswick Jobs, that not to say that they will be a few jobs created in New Brunswick to construct the pipeline, a few contractors will stand to make good dollars in the short term, the bulk of the jobs will go to Alberta, possibly Ontario.

There will be a few jobs created at the Irving terminal, but the number of jobs are not going to be significant enough to really effect the New Brunswick Economy. At the end of the project there will be two Winners, Alberta because they will be able to get their land locked bitumen to world Market via the Irving terminal, and Irving. For the rest of us we won’t see much a change in the quality of life.

Currently the Liberal Government has already created more jobs in the province then what the pipeline could create, early indicators are that this tread is going to continue.
According to Fredericton Mayor Mike O’Brien, the population of Fredericton is expected to reach 100,000 by non-pipeline jobs by the year 2035. That is just Fredericton. The rest of New Brunswick is expecting to see significant population growth as well.

We are moving in the direction to depend less on getting energy from fossil fuels, which really is an inefficient use of that resource. Oil is not only used for energy but it is chemical base for many of our products as well. So let’s save our oil for our products, Oil, natural gas and so on is a finite resource that has trap the suns energy. With our current science and physics we still can’t produce artificial oil.

What taken the earth millions of years to create we can consume it in several hundred years if we keep using fossil fuel as a primary source for energy.

Currently it is either Hibernia or Sable island, it one of those two that is going to run out of natural gas in less than five years.

When they come knocking to our doors trying to bullshit us about this magic bullet, we know what finger to use to express thyself.

  1. Andre; why don't you take that finger you want to show and shove it up your ass.

    Anyone who doesn't capture a fraction of the popular vote against an unpopular councilor (2012 - Ward 6, you lost badly in that race) shouldn't be taken seriously. This is just a crock of yellow journalism

  3. 10:23, looks like someone shit in your cornflakes this morning, Actually Kerton was very popular, in that election she received 583 + votes, Ian 90 votes, and I received a whole 26 votes. Kerton 84% of the vote that would be indicative of popularity. Marilyn was a good councilor she did a lot of work for our ward. Unfortunately all good things must end and we have a new councilor. I spoke with Eric Megarity who is now responsible for our ward and he assured me that he would complete what Marilyn had started and would work for our ward. I have total confidence in Eric, he has a good track record and will look after the best interest of the ward.

    Anyway 20:20 may the force be with you and I compliment you on your political savvy.

    Yeah JAG you ought to come down, they say protest coffee is the best. You weren't around the late sixties early seventies, Those good old fashion effigy burning, car rolling demonstrations. ... lol
    The last good protest that I was involved in was "March 22", in 1982, Brenda Cote from UDM, Gerard Finnan UNB, and myself STU, between the three of us we had close to 1,000+ demonstrators from the three campuses.

  4. Interesting article, but needed a second edit. And quoting a Mayor who says the population of fredericton is going to almost double by 2035? By current stats the city will be about half its size, and if the province keeps axing civil servants then it will be that much lower that much faster.

    But if candidates who lose an election aren't to be taken seriously, then what about those who don't run at all?
