You support a proposed new pipeline from Alberta to B.C.?

Support for a proposed new Alberta-to-B.C. pipeline remains strong among Canadians, according to new polling by the Angus Reid Institute. About 63% of respondents said they support the project in British Columbia, with 27% backing it firmly and another 33% supporting it but open to persuasion. Roughly 21% oppose the pipeline, split between those who have decided against it (11%) and those who could be convinced (10%). The most cited reasons for support are economic: 55% say it would help diversify Canada’s oil markets away from the U.S., while 51% point to oil’s role in Canada’s economy. Another 45% say potential job creation makes construction compelling. Opposition most often centers on investing in renewables (41%). In B.C., support is even higher at 62%, with 40% finding it compelling that the pipeline would follow the existing Trans Mountain corridor rather than take a new route. The online survey ran July 10–14 with 2,649 Canadian adults.
