Angus Reid poll shows a solid majority of Canadians in every province support the idea that Canada needs oil and gas pipelines running across the country.

Federal Energy Minister Jonathan Wilkinson last week suggested that Ottawa and the provinces discuss the possibility of an oil pipeline to Eastern Canada .

This is all actually somewhat unfortunate in a way, since there’s no actual major pipeline proposal that stands to benefit from this wave of enthusiasm.
