Alberta's energy minister says it's a good time to build a pipeline because public health restrictions limit protests against them.

. Thank you to Minister Savage for chatting with us about the state of the industry and the work you're doing for the sector!Unprompted, Savage goes on to suggest that the economic turmoil caused by the pandemic favours pipeline construction.

“People are not going to have tolerance and patience for protests that get in the way of people working,” she said on the podcast, which was posted on the association's website. “People need jobs and those types of ideological protests that get in the way are not going to be tolerated by ordinary Canadians.”“We respect the right to lawful protests,” said Kavi Bal.

“I would note that the limitations to public gatherings ... have benefited no one - including project proponents and any opposition groups.”Irfan Sabir, the Opposition New Democrat energy critic, called Savage's comments more of the same for the government.“The UCP have already used the pandemic as an excuse to suspend environmental monitoring.

A similar bill carrying increased trespassing punishments for animal rights protesters at agricultural facilities came into force in December.

Stop putting your eggs into one badcket just look what hapoened to the gold rush towns

WTF. That's that evil crap!

Well that lady should resign

Trudeau and his RCMP already proved they will do nothing about illegal protests stalling the country. If protestors show up again, the same thing will happen that happened last time-no more rail traffic. He's weak, and these illegal protestors know it.

Vote these PsOS out...

Anytim is a good time to work on a succcessful Canadian economy. Let’s not forget Canada’s economy was stalling BEFORE coronavirus hit us. Agitators, paid enviros and foreign demonstrators were blocking our railways and construction of the pipeline.

How about building a refinery instead

Wtf what an insensitive comment

Evening Update: Trudeau seeks paid sick leave for workers in bid for NDP support; Canadian vaccine candidate shows promise in animal testsAlso: More reopenings in hard-hit areas of Quebec and Alberta Why doesn’t he just shut down all small businesses and be done with it. Idiot All the members of the Liberal Party of Canada can volunteer for this Vaccine. Watch how fast people start sourcing contracted work rather than hiring employees. Then people will be responsible for their own benefits, payroll tax, no more CPP or EI payments by employers. That is 9n the contractor to supply those benefits to themselves.
