The deal inked by Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith late last month that paves the way for a new West Coast pipeline is largely supported by Canadians, a newly released poll suggests.
An Abacus Data survey conducted within 24 hours of the agreement being signed on Nov. 27 found that 55 percent of Canadians polled support the concept of a pipeline to the West Coast, while 18 percent oppose it. Fifteen percent of the 1,802 adults surveyed said they were neutral on the issue and 12 percent were uncertain about their stance.
