To pass this bill is to…

To pass this bill is to destroy nature and distance ourselves from it in the most direct way possible. For some reason North America has gone with one of the least efficient, most expensive, and worst for the environment methods of transportation as the main way to get around. This bill being passed would not only push this absurd agenda, but also would be even worse then normal for the environment and people by bypassing one of the few things done to try to mitigate its negative effects; the provincial environmental assessment. This assessment needs to be done in order to asses the cultural, biological, environmental, and economic effects of the project. Without the assessment, endangered species will be killed, important habitat will be damaged, indigenous land will be destroyed, large amounts of pollution will occur, and it will cost the tax payer even more money. Passing this bill will only bring good things to the greedy developers and politicians that are pushing it.
