Premier Rachel Notley says pipelines in Canada trump Keystone XL

Published on: November 14, 2016 | Last Updated: November 14, 2016 6:27 PM MST

Premier Rachel Notley vowed during the last election campaign to stop lobbying the U.S. to approve the Keystone XL pipeline, and suggested the previous government’s support for Keystone was proof they were “more interested in creating jobs in Texas than here in Alberta.”Rachel Notley believes an in-Canada solution to moving Alberta’s bitumen trumps the need to push Washington to renew talks on the Keystone XL pipeline, the premier said Monday.

Asked if she’d be willing to go to Washington to meet with members of the incoming Donald Trump administration, which has been open to the notion of overturning the U.S. government’s previous opposition to the 1,900-km pipeline that would connect Alberta’s oilsands to Gulf Coast refineries, Notley said she had other priorities.

Only labor is provided by the province they are working in, unless other arrangements are made prior to the contract....

You know, there's a much more effective way to try and stop Notley from crushing your man dreams.

The voters will stop Notley. She's currently in third place in the polls and dropping like a rock. It's a good time for conservatives in Alberta.

The fight for Keystone XL has been around for 10 years now.

Even if she did lose the next election, the timing would be difficult.

Not impossible, but difficult.

You'll get over it. Everything is in place now for Keystone. The last stumbling block is gone. Even an ideologue like Notley won't stand in the way.

There is no need for XL unless you want to call a tie in to DAPL the XL.

Besides 60,000 new rail tankers that need zero approval are already rolling.

good point...

But when the safety of transporting oil and gas by pipelines and rail is
compared, taking into consideration the amount of product moved, pipelines
are found to be the much safer transportation method.

Specifically, rail is found to be over 4.5 times more likely to experience an
occurrence when compared to pipelines.
 Over 70 percent of pipeline occurrences result in spills of 1 m3 or less, and only 17 percent of pipeline occurrences take place in actual line pipe, meaning that the vast majority of spills occur in facilities, which may have secondary containment mechanisms and procedures.
