Hopefully minimum wage earners will afford to be able to rent these new housing units. Also, owners of older homes in the uptown area should be made to update from fire hazard/derelict buildings to affordable housing.

again a “call” for an west -east pipeline, the concept has merit and is justifiable solely on ensuring Canada has control of all pipelines carrying Canadian oil on Canadian soil. the Irving oil refinery processes up to 300 million barrels a day, which seems like a lot until the source of the oil and the final customers are identified. Atlantic Canada uses 20 % of the oil, the remainder (80%) is sold to the USA as finished product. The source of the oil Is from United states ( some of that could be Canadian crude piped to Texas). The cost of transporting a barrel of oil by tanker is $1>50 to .300. compared to 5 to 7 dollars a barrel transported by oil. It is quite evident that Americans accept Irving oil refined products mainly because it is their oil to begin with, we are just refining it, the other sources of oil are UAE which are an oil ally of the USA as well, Should Canada, build a pipe line to the east coast, we would no longer be an importer from the US or UAE, or Nigeria. The assumption is that Western crude would be piped to Irving and American North east would continue to buy , now Canadian crude, refined products from Irving in the same quantity they now buy American/UAE crude based finished products. If not , the Irving refinery would lose 80 % of their market and only have 20% ( 60,000 barrels a day) being sold to Atlantic Canada. Of course an argument can be made that Irving Refinery could sell to EU providing the USA didn’t sanction our oil because we stopped importing from USA. The pipeline being talked about West-East should also be rerouted to go north of Lake Superior to avoid passing through USA territory. The messaging on building the pipe line to Irving oil Saint John NB gets lots of enthusiastic support, without seriously asking Ontario and Quebec why they wouldn’t want the pipeline to just stop in their provinces, with the goal of the development of a refinery that they would control and gain all economic benefits from. Oil Tankers can easily reach St Lawrence port terminals, for transporting finished oil products for export. Canada needs to stay focused on what we can do to market crude oil/refined oil, in the most efficient manner possible, we can market west to Asia, we can go to Churchill for markets to our east, Atlantic Canada may not be our best choice with out l new sustainable markets in the EU ?
