This view is held by 70 per cent of the project's opponents and 56 per cent of its supporters, the poll says. Poll results revealed last week suggested a growing number of British Columbians support the pipeline expansion project even as their leaders stand firmly opposed to it. Support for the Kinder Morgan project has risen to 54 per cent in B.C., according to the Angus Reid Institute. Earlier this month, Kinder Morgan announced it was stopping non-essential spending for the project. The existing Trans Mountain pipeline has carried oil from near Edmonton to a marine terminal in Burnaby, B.C., since 1953.
