Would it make more sense if the people opposed to the pipeline put their efforts in to ensuring that it is a safe and viable facility?

I don't think people in BC are very convinced that the provincial and federal governmetns are all that serious about the environment.
Ironic comment coming from a province that has no problem releasing 100's of thousands of gallons of raw sewage into the ocean each and evey day
But we elected green party to the house of commons and the provincial legislature. How many other provinces can claim the same ?Ironic comment coming from a province that has no problem releasing 100's of thousands of gallons of raw sewage into the ocean each and evey day
How many green party representatives from your province ?Yes--like I said, they're not that serious about the environment. That's my concern.
The environmental impact of the raw sewage, like the impact of the oil sands, is over-rated by a lot of people.
My take is that no one is really serious about it - maybe that has to do with the volume of the lobby groups moreso than the gravity and factual seriousness on the issue
That sewage discharge may even be coming from Miss Mays riding.
When the Asia Pacific Corridor was announced 15 years ag BC knew full well there would be lots of pipelines and the ability to move their NG from the BC prairie to the coast along this corridor.Maybe by delving deeper they'd get to understand it!
They bought an antiquated system in the US just weeks before the line breaks. Conoco is responsible for those failures.The only objections I have to the Northern Gateway Pipeline is the company
building it they have a lousy track record. The second objection is I don't
want us selling raw materials to Asia period. They have done enough destruction
to our economy and lifestyle. I believe we should refine all raw materials in this
Country. I also agree that pipelines are far safer than rail but send the pipeline
east./west instead and give our future kids the jobs and prosperity.

Hmmm, I suspect that this would account for possibly 2/3 of that sewage
I don't disagree with any of that but do you support the Kinder Morgan proposal . They have a better track record and are running along an existing right of way ? Many of the same parties that oppose Northern Gateway also oppose Kinder Morgan , Keystone and runningThe only objections I have to the Northern Gateway Pipeline is the company

Hey the Sumas Prairie and the Matsqui Prairie are right here in the Fraser Valley . Who would have known .When the Asia Pacific Corridor was announced 15 years ag BC knew full well there would be lots of pipelines and the ability to move their NG from the BC prairie to the coast along this corridor.
P.S. If 1000 BC Moonbeams were surveyed, what percentage would know that BC has Prairies?

What exactly are we shipping to them? With a little digging you'd find out that while it may not be refined it has had the more valuable petrochemicals stripped out leaving a product that is only good for making fuel, a few lubricants and plastic.The second objection is I don't

I could fit both in my farm.Hey the Sumas Prairie and the Matsqui Prairie are right here in the Fraser Valley . Who would have known .
Speaking for myself I'd say with 209 conditions imposed they are fairly serious!
They do. Look it up.There's a real question as to whether these pipelines produce any generally shared wealth.
It was Federally gutted because it was redundant to Provincal which is better capable of handling Provincal issues which are better funded by the Feds now.Oh yes, they're very serious. :lol:
If the government is so serious about the environment, why did they dismantle their emergncy repsonse team in BC? Why have they gutted environmental legislation in Canada? Doesn't seem that serious to me.
