I think the local people are entitled to vote or a proposal, if there is something to be built in their residence. Because it is all about the disruption of their neighborhood and they are entitled to protect the land, water, air, plants and animals from pollution, oil spills, construction disruptions, and so on. But if all the disturbances can be handled by the party responsible for a job, I think it will not be a big problem, to make a job there. And we also have to give work to the locals, let them all feel the happiness of the result of the establishment of a company in their place of residence. thank you

The government continues to push the idea that they must do this for the good of all Canadians, so the majority mob will push through despite the objections of the minority. How do you propose that a balance be struck when the majority uses coercion and force against the minority?
Actually we do not know what is being planned by the government, but I think the government has its own plan to membagun a country to develop. But we as a society must also have a politics so we know what is being planned by the government. Because we do not directly believe in the government. But in my opinion, if an oil company is built and can make the community have a permanent job, and can have a source of income for them. I am sure the public will agree, although it has some impact on the environment they live in and there will be no resistance with the local community. I've seen in my country things like that.
Just to clarify then, are you saying it is justified to engage in these activities because of the jobs or should we be finding ways for people to support themselves without the need for jobs, which would then take away their argument for such projects?
