    Most disingenuous assumption. Pipelines are safer than rail and truck oil transport with lower emissions. And THAT is not a deflexion but just the facts!! Carbon tax in Alberta has funded green energy, including dry extraction that gets rid of tailing ponds plus lowers emissions by 40% https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/in-pit-extraction-process-cnrl-1.4788480
