Trans Mountain Pipeline Case Study

The Trans Mountain pipeline expansion is branded as a project that is going to increase revenues to 73.5 Billion dollars, employment, tax benefits, and return any farmland or wetland they disturb back to it’s place (Trans Mountain, 2014). Though, Trans Mountain is persuasive as to how the pipeline will protect the environment and indigenous people, and how the pipeline increases revenues. The company fails to mention the environmental damage that will be done when this pipeline is built, and the cost required to rectify the pollution. It fails to mention the how the loss of farmland and wetlands will affect the Canadian environment, the depletion of non-renewable energy sources. Overall, the pipeline will negatively affect all aspects of life
A holistic approach will save this country for many generations to come and keep their inhabitants happier. Though the pipeline will increase GDP in the beginning, any mishap will lead to a decline in both GDP and GPI. As of November 29th, 2016 the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has approved the Trans Mountain Pipeline (Tasker, 2016). Justin Trudeau has broken all the promises to a sustainable environment and indigenous rights. There will definitely be a violent conflict happening in B.C similar to the Standing Rock protests. As a leader he has failed to account for the environment and the wellbeing of BC & Alberta. Trudeau has to implement ways to have natural resources recycled not depleted. Overall, this pipeline will be immensely harmful to the Canadian population. It will affect the GPI negatively and eventually lead the wealthy to take advantage of the small people. Radical change has to implemented to stop this pipeline. In conclusion, this pipeline will lead to the downfall of wellbeing of the citizens and at this time hope for a change is what Canadians should wish
