OTTAWA -- Tom Mulcair's enthusiasm for a west-to-east oil pipeline has not dimmed, despite mounting opposition among environmentalists and provincial politicians in the NDP's home base of Quebec.
Energy East still makes the most sense of any proposal for pumping Alberta's oilsands crude to tidewater, the NDP leader says.
But it has to be done right, Mulcair warns -- with a rigorous, transparent environmental review process and legislation to force oil companies to pay for the pollution they create, including any increase in greenhouse gas emissions.
