If transCanada was an American company how would most people here that object to it feel.
What I'm trying to understand is this:
Is it:
a) Building the pipeline at all - environmental risk etc.
b) the fact that it's a CANADIAN company doing it
c) the use of ED - remembering that people ARE compensated in ED situtations, but they are NOT given the choice
d) some other factor (e.g. native land as someone above stated).
Which of these are the deal breaker?
I don't think it has a negative environmental risk above the current risk of rail transport. I don't care that it's a Canadian company. For me it's the [strike]Erectile Dysfunction[/strike] Eminent Domain. I don't like ED anyway and giving a company the power of government to encroach on land is unacceptable. To me this is a private venture for a corporation. This is not like a public utility. If they need to use my land to transport their product, they should have to kiss my ass until I'm satisfied. And I should be able to tell them to **** right off if I don't like the offer.
