NFU rejects plans
for suggested route
The National Farmers'
Union has urged the• National
Energy Bard to reject con-
struction of a Sarnia to Mon-
treal pipeline extension, in
favor .of an all Canadian route
through Northern ,Ontario.
In` a brief to the N.E.B. May
'2 t, the -NFU said the "future
ravaging and disruption of far-
rners and production fatm•land
can no -longer be tolerated in a.
food short world."
It• warned too of 'thee con-
tinual hazards, of oil and gas
pipelines passing through prime
farm lands, relating to soil con-
tamination and human life in
areas" of population density.
The brief also charged that

granting easement's to, pipeline
and otbr expropriating agen-
cies has been far from satisfac-
tory, with monetary offers
unrealistic and often ludicrous
when considering the industrial
use for which the land is em-
ployed. Invariably, the manner
in which expropriating agencies
deal with farmers is arbitrary.
The NFU brief said a crown
corporation should construct
the all Canadian route from
the Winnipeg area to serve
Eastern Canada, and that it
should be built as a public
utiliiy'as should 'any pipeline
serving Canadians on
Canadian soil.
"The recent so-called energy
crisis caused Canadians to
focus sharply on our
vulnerability, as.,a nation, to
foreign policy decisions of
multi -national . corporations",
the NFU said.
"Now- that the hysteria of an
oil shortage has given way. to
increased oil company prices
and "profits, there does not seem
to be the' same urgency and
panic to "push through" the
Sarnia -Montreal line", the
organization spokesmen say.
The brief reflected people
should be mindful of the op-
position 100 years agd to the
construction of an all Canadian
railroad; but thewisdom of the
rail across' Northern .Ontario
has" long been self evident as
would the pipeline in. the
future.
