Danielle Smith says Iran war underscores need for new Alberta pipeline to the coast

Global is reporting that "Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says the war in Iran underscores the need for a new pipeline connecting her province’s oil reserves to the West Coast."

OK hold on for one second. There already is a pipeline from Alberta to Vancouver. In fact, taxpayers are already twinning that pipeline. Does she want a third pipeline? 

Danielle Smith is really determined to turn Alberta into a welfare state. We want Canadian taxpayers to build pipelines for us so we can make money. Private companies used to build pipelines with their money as an investment. Kinder Morgan ran the project until they bailed when they saw political opposition so Justin Trudeau bought it with tax dollars. 

Yet we still keep getting shafted at the pumps in Metro Vancouver. In fact, people are saying the Iran war could mean billions for Alberta and trillions for Saudi. Why is that? 

It's because when you cut supply the price of oil spikes and Saudi makes more money. So will Alberta at the expense of tax paying consumers. Danielle Smith is seizing the opportunity to make even more money from federal tax dollars.

When you read the headline you're left thinking maybe she means a third pipeline will help reduce the cost of gas at the pump for Metro Vancouver consumers but that's not what she's talking about. She's talking about selling more oil to China. 

That will have zero effect on lowering  the price of gas at the pumps for Vancouver. The problem with the price of gas at the pump in Vancouver is the fact that we send the unrefined oil from Alberta to Washington State who refine it and sell it back to us at a profit. That's the problem we face.

That is why we have the highest gas prices in all of Canada. So before we build a third, fourth or fifth pipeline in BC we need to build a refinery to ease the burden for tax paying consumers who are shareholders in the Trans Mountain pipeline. 

The other day I filled up in Langley at 204.9. Today it was 207.9. That is Donald Trump's manufactured emergency that not only caters to his puppet master Neo Con Netanyahu, but to his bffs in Saudi that gave him the luxury jet and convinced Trump to flip on domestic production in exchange for $2 billion in Jared Kushner's hedge fund. 

Which forces us to ask why is Danielle Smith really taking trips to Saudi on a private jet? Saudi see Alberta as a competitor. In his first term Donald Trump got America off their dependence on Saudi oil and Joe Biden got them back on it. Trump was going to fix that in his second term but all the Saudi bribes prevented him from doing it. Now tax paying consumers are suffering because of it. Is Danielle Smith taking trips to Saudi to sell out Albertans like Donald Trump did?

Or is she just selling out Canadian consumers by agreeing to Saudi's terms of reducing domestic production to keep the prices high while she sells all the surplus to China since Stephen Harper sold our oil rights to China years ago. 

There are a lot of dirty deals going on here and we need to shed the light on them. Before we build a third pipeline to China we need to build a refinery in BC. That is what we need to do.

If you ship refined oil to China it will require less ships and you'll make more money. You'll send more oil on fewer ships and reduce transportation costs. That means more profit.
