A protest was held recently infront of the white house by a group who oppose the keystone pipeline. According to protesters, record temperatures have been seen all over the world, and emissions will only make the situation worse. TransCanada has said that the pipeline will create over 9000 much needed jobs, but the protesters say that it is not worth it and there is a much better way to create jobs and boost the economies of both Canada and the US. I think that the pros of the pipeline do not outway the environmental effects. The pipeline will destroy many environmentally sensitive areas in BC and the US, and there are many better ways that the government can create jobs.
