Trans Mountain ‘pipeline is going to get built’: Trudeau dismisses B.C.’s bitumen ban
- Thread starter mentalfloss
- Start date
Cliffy and Hoid do not understand that BC has no right to stop any business that Canadian or International corporations wish to conduct there.
Electric cars will continue to be a small sideline. The environment is ours to control, modify and otherwise do with as we please. Cliffy, Hoid, grow the hell up. :lol:

On CTV Question Period today, Pamela D. Palmater (Indigenous Nationhood website) claimed that First Nations have the specific right to stop this pipeline as ruled by the supreme court. Trudeau is in deep sh?t if he attempts to force the issue in BC. It seems to me that Trudeau is promising huge changes to the Indian Act and huge increases in funding of First Nations social programs with the hopes that the First Nations will not bring down his government over this pipeline issue and agree to this pipeline. Failure to agree might well place all Trudeau funding promises in jeopardy if his government is not re-elected.

Hi! Murphy
Trudeau will need to bring in the military because First Nations will shut down all freight rail transportation and highways. Lower Mainland BC is quite warm all year thus protests can be continuous, not like freezing to death while protesting in Ontario.
I'd love to see that happen. Can't fight a pipeline when in jail for terrorism.
Not even ghost bears can stop them now.
It reminds me of the 1880s when Chief Piapot tried to stop construction of the CPR.

I'm pretty sure they do not have the right to stop this particular pipeline (all legal guidelines have been followed and approved), but do have the right to protest against it being built.
when the feds claimed right of way for the railroad, wasn't it something like a 5 mile wide right of way?
It's too late. The time to speak up came and went. Many of the bands on the route didn't bother to show up.
See above.
The first promise (not counting the "could be up to one billion dollars" revenue-sharing agreement - was Kinder Morgan Canada's $6.8-billion project will protect B.C. from potential environmental damage with world-leading spill prevention and response measures.
Head of Kinder-Morgan's Public Relations team Justin Trudeau even restated this promise at length on Friday in Nanaimo.
And yet there has been no definitive research undertaken to determine the nature of diluted bitumen spills in the proposed corridor and especially in the ocean.
The promises that have been made are just bullshit.
We know that now for sure and we know that the pipeline should be stopped until a thorough and completely transparent study is done.
That is just common sense and anyone opposing it is a fool - or simply does not care about this province and its people.
