The federal government made what was in my opinion a fair compromise saying no to the northern gateway but yes to twinning the existing pipeline. <br /><br />The problem arose when the premier of Alberta starts making demands of entitlement when BC expressed some valid concerns. We don't want a mountain of petroleum coke that Detroit and Chicago had. <br /><br />That concern is even more relevant now because India doesn't want it anymore either. That means we need to discuss what we are going to do with it. <br /><br />If a pipeline already exists to refine the dirty Alberta tar sands oil in Texas, then there is no need to build one in BC. Shipping unrefined tar sands oil is inefficient. Not refining it in Vancouver is preferable.<br /><br />If they refine it in Alberta then they can use the existing pipeline to Vancouver. IMO the deal is dead in the water. They had my support but their childish demands of entitlement lost it.Dennis Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06736981069304416233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576246045591350665.post-22081375603589820312018-02-17T05:31:39.299-08:002018-02-17T05:31:39.299-08:00Remember this isn't Alberta that started this ...Remember this isn't Alberta that started this fight the federal government approved the pipeline, we have the Keystone XL to send it to Texas to be refined and shipped overseas the NEB has just passed down the decision that said it is a go and can go ahead, but I don't see BC Wine ever being back in CalgaryAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18349723523566223340noreply@blogger.com
