4/8 ENERGY EAST: THE "SMOOTHER RIDE" THAT CRASHED
In 2013, #TransCanada pitched this Alberta-to-New Brunswick line as a safer bet than KXL.
It wasn't.
It faced a wall of opposition from Quebec, environmentalists, and a conflict-of-interest scandal that sidelined #NEB panel members.

🇨🇦 ALBERTA'S PIPELINE PUSH DREDGES UP PIPE DREAMS OF PROJECTS PAST 🇨🇦
As the province seeks a new route to the coast, three failed megaprojects loom large over the conversation.
Here is a look at what really killed #KeystoneXL, #EnergyEast, and #NorthernGateway.

Be bolder. More Pacific access doesn’t solve Canada’s Energy East challenge. Europe still needs alternatives to Russian and Middle Eastern oil & LNG—and Canada’s energy could be that solution.
Free enterprise. Open markets.

Alberta doesn’t send cheques to Québec. Equalization = federal tax math, not Alberta’s allowance money.
Energy East died from economics, opposition & reality — not a Quebec “veto.”
Civics isn’t optional, folks.

Energy East would not serve Québec or Atlantic Canada, it would not serve the environment and it would not serve the planet. www.halifaxexaminer.ca/commentary/e...

5/10 One theory? Trump might be reacting to discussions about Canada revisiting plans for an Energy East pipeline, which would reduce Canadian oil dependency on the U.S.
"That is a very big problem for his refiners," says energy expert Rafi Tahmazian.

I’m all for energy sovereignty in Canada. But #EnergyEast? Come on. The carbon emissions and environmental impact is too much. Think outside the box. Don’t reopen a bad idea. We need long-term resilient solutions that are future thinking, and climate, ecological, and health focused. #NewBrunswick
Theo-Cons from Alliance Defending Freedom (fossil fuel & gun lobbyists that dabble in religion) priority is energy independence.
Separatist Danielle Smith capitulates instead of Canada’s energy independence.
She’d rather #Alberta become a US state then #EnergyEast & Canada off Irving/Saudi Oil
Theo-Cons from Alliance Defending Freedom worship fossil fuels & weapons, followed by God.
No. 1 priority is US energy independence.
#TransMountain & #Keystone Pipelines don’t make US independant when Canada can shut the tap.
Canada wants #EnergyEast Pipeline first to get us off Irving/Saudi oil.
#Keystone #AIMCO #Alberta
#Quebec
If Keystone pipeline is forced through after British Columbia sacrificed the #SalishSea will Quebec be forced to accept #EnergyEast to get off Saudi oil?
In the I can't believe we're still talking about these things category, #EnergyEast is illegal in #Manitoba. From 2016:

Your fault! No your fault! No your fault!
Doesn't matter. #EnergyEast is dead. #KXL and #TransMountain are next.

634000 BPD down to zero when controllers shut pipeline in response to our call.
#EnergyEast held at zero today.
Soon: zero zero. Forever.
