   It was the the native reserves that were involved with the pipeline. They're not a bunch of hippies that want to run free with the buffalo. They have business and livelihoods and want to make money same as everyone else, and income from the pipeline going through their land (where there was already an existing pipeline, so no new land was affected) is a big part of that.
   
   Conversely, it was American organizations funding much of the opposition to that pipeline. Because they profit from our dependence. All you're doing is repeating lines developed by foreign interests under the guise of environmental sustainability.
   
   Quebec not wanting Alberta oil didn't mean they stopped using oil. They've been more than happy to import from foreign countries with less environmental regulation. Being dependent on and subject to foreign interests who don't give a shit about natives or the environment is much less environmentally or indigenous friendly than just extracting and refining our own product.
