Northern Gateway pipeline opposed by 50% in B.C
Opposition to Enbridge's proposed $5.5-billion Northern Gateway pipeline is growing and has topped 50% in British Columbia, according to an independent survey released Thursday.
Opposition to the project was 52% among 1,069 adults in a random telephone survey conducted on April 11 - up from 46% in January and 45% in December, according to the Forum Research Inc. poll.
Support for a law banning oil tanker traffic on the B.C. coast also has risen to 46 % from 40 % in January and December.
"It looks like the federal government has not been that successful in swaying public opinion on Northern Gateway," said Forum Research Inc. president Lorne Bozinoff.
