In the article, “Canadian Government to Buy Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain Pipeline” first gave me interest as the topic of expensive gas and climate change became a problem in the lower mainland. This expedition has been heavily protested by environmentalist because if any inconveniences occur nature could be harmed. If they were to build this pipeline the risks would be incredibly high and could contribute to climate change and other environmental issues; on the other hand the article expresses how it could improve our way of life by lowering the price of gas and further strengthen our energy industries. In the article, “New Law Would Allow Alberta To Restrict Flow Of Oil and Gas” has demonstrated that after months of protests and court sessions the Trans Mountain Pipeline has been approved by the federal governments, but the province of B.C is still fighting it. B.C will not be taking any ownership in this project. The authors of these articles have made the risks clear of making new oil pipelines. The writing within the articles have been insightful, and has made me more aware of the catastrophic environmental events that may be harming wildlife.
