The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday, April 12, edition that a recent poll by Nanos Research for The Globe and CTV News indicates that nearly three-quarters of Canadians favour an East-West pipeline for oil and liquefied natural gas. The Globe's Emily Haws writes that specifically, 58 per cent support it, while 15 per cent somewhat support it. Only 18 per cent oppose the pipeline. The survey, conducted from April 8 to April 10 with 1,233 Canadian adults, has a margin of error of 2.8 percentage points. Support is strongest in the Prairies at 88 per cent, and lowest in Quebec, where nearly half support the idea. The debate over pipelines has intensified due to rising trade tensions with the U.S., with supporters claiming new pipelines could help Canada diversify energy exports. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has vowed to create a national energy corridor to expedite pipeline approvals, criticizing the Liberal Party's energy policy for leaving Canada vulnerable to U.S. tariffs. In contrast, Liberal Leader Mark Carney aims to establish Canada as a conventional and green energy superpower. "Basically, we have an emerging national consensus in terms of having an East-West pipeline," said pollster Nik Nanos.
