Canadians are increasingly backing the Energy East and Northern Gateway pipeline initiatives as well as the expansion of domestic energy infrastructure in response to a looming threat of a trade war with the United States, a new survey suggests.
Two-thirds of Canadians are now in favour of the Energy East pipeline, a poll released Feb. 10 by the Angus Reid Institute found. Sixty-five percent of respondents currently support the oil pipeline project compared to 58 percent in 2019. Nineteen percent of respondents oppose the initiative and 16 percent are unsure.
