These groups, many of which were instrumental in the movement against Energy East in the province of Quebec over several years until the project was cancelled last fall, believe that the current crisis surrounding the Kinder Morgan question is of concern to everyone in Canada.

Earlier this year,\u00a0an Angus Reid poll had revealed that opposition to Kinder Morgan\u2019s Trans Mountain pipeline<\/a>\u00a0was especially strong in Quebec.
