A lot of good people in B.C. are going to suffer when gasoline goes up to $3.00 dollars a litre or more. They are having a housing crisis and a labor shortage already, what are they going to do when driving to work becomes unaffordable?

Collect welfare just like Ontario and QUebek.

I paid $1000 for fuel last month, mostly to go to work so I can pay taxes.

The term "safest" is laughable.

There is no safe way or good way to transport this shit. That is why we need to get off of it and the last thing we need at this point in history is to triple the amount of shit flowing into BC and out over our waters.

If we could get Alberta to turn off the taps and get gasoline upo to $3 a liter that would be great.

The price of gas now is high enough to make alternative energy feasible. 3 bucks a liter will make it a done deal.

Just wait until we start drilling in Georgia straight. Then the price of gas will go down and we will no longer be forced to subsidise electric gizmos.

For a lesson in relativity we are talking here about 3,000 km of expanded pipeline?

The state of Louisiana has 170K miles of it.

We are fortunate to have so little exposure and we need to guard our safety carefully. We know the oil industry owns our politics.

There are a lot of people in BC suffering now with gas at $1.40

(I don't know how good they are though)

Ah the poor Left Coast................looks good on them. Here in the Heartland where I just filled up in F.G. I paid 1.23/l. LOL BTW, most of my friends and neighbors here are more than willing to pay higher prices for fuel just to see the Left Coast get royally shafted.

I feel sorry for anyone on the Left Coast who DO NOT support all the pipeline protests, Scooby. Those who do, deserve all the pain at the pumps that is coming their way.

It seems to me that BC should be grateful to the rest of Canada, and the oil patch, for providing badly needed jobs and tax revenues.

Pays $1.23 for gas that costs less than 10 cents a liter to make and brags about it.

People take pride in the strangest things.

No, I think that it costs more than that to make, but because we live in Canada, we get a discount. :lol:

If Notley does decide to play games with the gas/oil supply in BC, it will have a direct effect on all those communities that rely on the refinery in Burnaby and not so much places like your community (near 100 Mile House?).

In that regard, it will force those vocal lobbies to put their money where their mouths are and either dig deeper to ease their conscious' or agree that they can't exist without this commodity at this point in time.

Anywho, as I expect that your supply doesn't originate from Burnaby, I'd expect that your community won't be affected

You probably need to do a little more research on this subject.

CO-OP Regina supplies quite a chunk of BC.

Everywhere except Metro Van.

Will the Shell Refinery in WA still get Canadian feedstock?

Transmountain is direct to Burnaby and unless that refinery has trucking North, it will hit the lower mainland directly

That would be something that Kinder Morgan would have contracts on... If I had to guess, they would keep that feedstock going South as this conflict doesn't involve them other than the usual ecotard lobbies that pretend to speak on behalf of everyone

The interior gets hit first. Refined product from TMPL is distributed out of Kamloops first.

Sumas is where it diverges south into WA.
