A visionary federal government would support Alberta by making major investments in transit, building retrofits, renewable energies, clean technologies, and community employment programs. This plan would not only create many more jobs and stimulate new industries, but would also result in less carbon emissions, and fewer chances of coastal spills, land contamination or deadly explosions. Permanent benefits would far exceed costs, and B.C.'s commercial fishing and tourism would be protected.

Because positive alternatives to propping up declining and polluting industries exist, neither B.C. nor Alberta need suffer. The federal government should initiate a Just Transition program that supports both workers and entrepreneurs in all regions as our economy quickly mobilizes to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Leadership is about setting the conditions for a new economy, not ramming pipelines through provinces that reject them.

1.  �Jobs vs. the Environment�: How to Counter This Divisive Big Lie
https://www.thenation.com/article/jobs-vs-environment-how-counter-divisive-big-lie/
"Mobilization for World War II provides an even more dramatic illustration of rapid economic transformation that created massive employment while halting production for some purposes and radically expanding it for others.

Such a shared program would end the �jobs versus environment� conflict because environmental protection would produce millions of new jobs and expansion of jobs would protect the environment."

2. William Mitchell is Professor in Economics and Director of the Centre of Full Employment and Equity (CofFEE), University of Newcastle, NSW, Australia http://bilbo.economicoutlook.net/blog/?p=34479

"A just transition in any threatened region or sector requires government intervention and community partnerships to create the regulatory framework, infrastructure and market incentives for the creation of well-paid, secure, healthy, satisfying environmentally-friendly jobs with particular attention to appropriately meeting the needs of affected workers and their communities.

3. Assessing the risks of Kinder Morgan�s proposed new Trans Mountain pipeline
http://credbc.ca/assessing-the-risks/

"An oil spill would put at risk industries that together employ over 200,000 people locally including tourism, film and TV, real estate, high tech, agriculture and coastal industries.
***
In 15 years of operations, Kinder Morgan has accrued a significant number of spills, largely the result of human error. This includes four along the Trans Mountain route since 2005.
***

In the case of a major spill, taxpayers would likely be responsible for the burden of costs, as a company�s liability is limited to $1.3 billion and a major spill could easily cost ten times this amount."
