Doug Ford: “Let the people decide. Let the market decide. If people don’t like it, they aren’t going to have planes there.”

I want to be clear: what I’m talking about is government providing the patient capital needed to invest in our future.

If John A. MacDonald, before Confederation, can build a railroad from one end of our country to the other in four and a half years, why can't we build a pipeline even quicker with the technology we have?

Critical infrastructure gets built, tens of thousands of jobs are created. We protect our energy and economic sovereignty and taxpayers get a return on their investment. It’s a win all around.

That will provide a secure, domestic and sovereign stockpile of fuels like diesel, gasoline, and jet fuel to protect the economy of workers and jobs in strengthening Canada's long-term energy security.
