🇨🇦 Canada sits on world-class energy reserves but contemplates shipping oil through the fourth most dangerous waters on Earth because we spent decades killing pipelines to appease activists

Hecate Strait off Northern BC has been protected by a tanker moratorium while our oil gets landlocked and sold at a discount to Americans. Now with export ambitions finally stirring, the same people who strangled Northern Gateway and Energy East want you terrified of tanker traffic through treacherous waters. The 2012 Pacific Siren capsized so fast fishermen couldn't grab life jackets — imagine a loaded crude tanker in those conditions.

This is what policy by hysteria looks like. We could have built safe pipelines to tidewater a decade ago. Instead we're weighing oil tankers through waters nicknamed Terror Point while Trudeau's legacy regulations and Indigenous veto culture make every energy project a hostage negotiation. Sovereignty means moving your own resources on your own terms — not begging nature and activists for permission.
