I think they want the money, it is just that 300 thousand dollars per head is not enough for them.
LNG even if it leaked is not as hazardous to the environment as oil or crude oil, as far as i know. But hazard or not they are pumping up that balloon so that more money will fly their way.

As for just put the pipeline through, Well that takes leadership, in other words back bone, to do that.

Same leadership skills are lacking in Ontario. 'Doing Things Right' is a kin to 'Political Correctness', lol.
