Recommended: Pros & Cons of Pipelines

Another reason pipelines are beneficial to Canada is because they help generate employment for many individuals. The construction of many pipelines would create jobs on both sides of the border- over 200,000 of them. These jobs would be filled in by a variety of people, including welders and electricians. Finally, young tradespeople would get their chance at skilled, high paying labour. Furthermore, once the new pipelines are in working order, companies would generate more funds, and therefore hire more workers, meaning people like the recently unemployed Albertans would have the hope to work again. In addition, construction of pipelines creates thousands of “spin-off” jobs. The pipeline workforce would spend some of their hefty paycheck in

  • Essay On Trans Canada Highway

    1083 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Trans Canada Highway became a visible nationalistic figure that set apart Canada from other countries. The highway was built to reinforce a newfound nationalism, however, there were oppositions in the building of the highway. In order for the highway to run from coast to coast, every province had to sign and agree to an Act that was enforced by the federal government. Every province agreed to the Act and the implementation of the highway except for Quebec, who at the time was governed under Premier Maurice Duplessis. Duplessis opposed the idea of the highway because under the Trans Canada Highway Act, the federal government would have complete control over road regulations when previously it was the responsibility of the provincial and municipal governments. This created a problem for the highway as the road needed to go through Quebec in order for it to be able to include the east coast provinces. The Quebec premier was challenging the unity and nationalism that the “new” Canada wanted to have. It wasn't until Duplessis passed away and a Liberal government c...

    The oil companies, the customers, and the average employee will not benefit from the construction of this pipeline. If the pipeline does its job, it will take the whole load of oil from Canada to the United States. The other companies which are already responsible for transporting oil will not be required to do their jobs, as it is being done for them. All of these companies will go out of business. With three more pipeline plans in place for Canada, people are wondering whether they will ever need to build a new one again.

  • The Effects of Keystone XL Pipeline Project

    1311 Words  | 3 Pages

    According to Brendan Smith, in his article “5 Reasons Why the Keystone Pipeline is bad for the Economy”, the project will have negative effects on the country’s economy. He argues that, building the pipeline will harm the economy because its impacts on the environment are costly and it will force the citizens and the government to pay the price. He continues by stating that the project will reduce jobs in the country because the fossil fuel industry had slashed its workforce. Smith points out that the effects of the project will be felt mostly by the poor people because they will not manage to cope with the adverse climate brought about by the increased use of fossil fuel. Moving on, he argues that the Keystone Pipeline will not sustain the economy because it cannot create more jobs in the country (Smith n.p). This is because a sustainable economy is one that creates more jobs...

  • Canadian-American Relations

    855 Words  | 2 Pages

    First of all, Canada benefits from close ties to America because it helps us with our economy. Back in the late 1950’s and 1960’s the opening of American branch plants were introduced to Canadians. American companies would come to Canada and open large American companies to serve to Canadian consumers. New policies started to pass down in 1965 such as the Automotive Products Trade Agreement (APTA or Autopact). This policy allowed free movement of vehicles to pass between the Canadian and American border. This also allowed American Branch plants to operate in Canada without having to pay tariffs. To this day it is estimated that more than 50% of businesses that operate in Canada are foreign owned. However this can be looked at as a positive aspect since this provided many jobs for Canadians. There was also a great persuasion for Canadian consumers to buy Canadian made items because it helps increase jobs in Canada. Another reason to why American ties helps with the Canadian economy is because America is Canada’s biggest trading partner. Considering the geographic position between Canada and America, in order to get across ones border there is only a need to cross land with a vehicle. Both of the countries are in the...

    As a CSR, it has been my mission to provide customers with the individual attention that they deserve. In regards to the tiered service plan that has been proposed, this would be beneficial for the company now and over the upcoming years. We should still give all of the customers the same friendly attention that they deserve, yet the more valuable the customer is, the more individual attention they should receive. Whether we like to admit it or not we are dependent on the customers and the customers that provide increased sales for this company, should receive special attention. The tiered system approach is nothing that will be obvious to the one time customer, as they should receive the same treatment that all other one time customers receive.

With the expected demand in power many have turned to the Site C Dam as an easy out. This project would be built on the Peace River and it would be the third dam on the river. This project is so big it would cost 7.9 billion dollars. Many would benefit from the project, but the same breath many would have a great deficiency. Which would cause political parties to favour either sides of the deal, such as the Green Party and the New Democratic Party. (NDP) More then 619 million dollars would benefit the government, the province, and the tax payers. More energy is expected to come due to the WAC Benette Dam's 5% reservoir. Even thou this project comes with some great benefits, it has some big draw backs, which also causes many to favour against. This project would cause permanent damage to the environment, land and animals.
