- More than two-thirds of Canadians oppose the federal government taking a multibillion-dollar writedown on the Trans Mountain pipeline, a survey showed on Tuesday, a dilemma for Justin Trudeau's Liberals as they look to sell it ahead of an election expected by 2025.
The Nanos survey found 68% of respondents opposed or somewhat opposed Ottawa writing off between C$15 billion and C$20 billion of the debt incurred by Trans Mountain Corp, the government-owned corporation building the expansion. Six in 10 Canadians surveyed said it should be mostly oil companies responsible for funding TMX, while nearly half of respondents said the federal government was going in the wrong direction on the project."The federal government has spent reams of political and financial capital on TMX, but Canadians do not support billions of dollars in additional subsidies to the oil and gas companies," said Eugene Kung, a staff lawyer with West Coast Environmental Law.
Rep. Jim Jordan received 200, 199, and 194 votes, respectively, during the speaker votes last week. In a secret ballot, his support cratered further.Son of founding Hamas leader issues stark warning: 'A lot more dangerous' than ISIS
