Trudeau is really being quite dishonest here. He knows as well as most environmentally minded people and 99% of scientists that no one is proposing shutting down the tar sands immediately and getting off fossil fuels tomorrow.Nobody.  Everyone knows and respects that a transition needs to occur; we can all see that it's already underway. Where he errs—quite horribly given the data—none of which he discusses but which are out there for all to see—is that given the current rate of renewables evolution, this pipeline's horizon is deliberately drawing out that transition and looking to ramp-up tar sands production, which completely undermines climate goals and carbon-consumption reduction strategies. Why the need to ramp up production other than greed? Production should wind down not up, and then post-fossil fuels Canada has a great reserve to can draw on for plastics and other petrochemical manufacturing for decades and decades into the future.
