Rather than pipelines, which is support for dead ender energy, railway expansion is the same scale and provides more flexible long term goods transport. Winnipeg to Baie Comeau rail link could populate northern Ontario and Quebec, but Winnipeg to Thunder Bay, and port/sea shipping expansion can make sense too. Both would be relatively safe transportation of oil.

Other than supporting the "necessity of climate terrorism" instead of renewable energy expansion, at least there is industrial policy and support for people/workers.
