Canada’s economy has always depended on natural resources. Our history and culture reflect tough, rugged trappers and fishermen, farmers and loggers, miners and oil-and-gas workers. Every village, town, and city across our nation was built and went on to thrive due to natural resources.
Now, Canada’s economy largely depends on the oil and natural gas sector getting these resources to market. People from near and far who are opposed to resource development should never again be able to block critical rail lines to the detriment of all Canadians.
