A wide chasm divides Alberta and British Columbia when it comes to the Northern Gateway pipeline.
A poll conducted by Abacus Data shows that 30% of Alberta respondents strongly support the Northern Gateway while 33% "somewhat" support it.
By contrast, in British Columbia 40% of respondents strongly oppose the project while 16% are "somewhat" against it.
The divide was similarly apparent when it came to Northern Gateway's economic benefits.
46% of respondents in Alberta "strongly agree" that all Canadians would benefit from wealth generated by the pipeline. 28% of Albertans somewhat agree.
In British Columbia, 24% of respondents "strongly disagree" that Canadians would benefit from the pipeline and 28% "somewhat agree" with the idea.
Where do you stand on the Northern Gateway Pipeline proposal?
Should we allow that to happen?
Do you see it as the greatest threat to the BC environment in your lifetime?
