Not surprisingly, the majority support for the $9.3 billion project came from respondents in the oil-producing province of Alberta, where 85 per cent of poll respondents approved of Trudeau’s decision, and from its prairie neighbour Saskatchewan, where 71 per cent believe the federal Liberals made the right call.

Less than one-quarter (24 per cent) believe the Liberals erred in approving the pipeline expansion, while 21 per cent said they were unsure. Opposition to the federal decision was highest in Quebec (40 per cent) and British Columbia (30 per cent).
