Northern Gateway Pipeline Research Paper

Oil is a very important part in our live. But some people don't even acknowledge this. People want more and more oil. Canadians uses twice as much oil then ever. In 1980 people use nearly 1.8 million gallons but now they use nearly 3 million gallons. This is big. Canadians can be affected by this. People are demanding more oil some people are making pipe line this is a huge problem. This can spring a leak and the oil will go into your drinking water and can give you cancer. This is why I am on the side to not have the northern gateway pipeline build. This pipeline can create major disasters. One wrong move and then we would have big disaster.

Also the other predators that live in the ocean will also get ill. And more importantly we can get sick. If the fish try to swim for new water and then we catch the fish and eat it then we also may get ill and die. Also the northern gateway pipeline line have a bad reputation. Company had an oil spill that led to 132,715 barrels of oil to spill into the ocean. So they shouldn't build this pipeline because there might be a spill once
