As far as I know it is in south America. What difference does it make? It isn't photoshopped. An oil spill is an oil spill.
Here are a bunch of photos from the Valdez oil spill:

And how about my question. In the past 103 years of Barnet being an oil hub has there ever been a disaster?
It makes a big difference what ERP are they using? Was it a pipeline, holding tank, Rail tanker, or truck and which oil/pipeline company? Was safety protocol followed and is it as stringent as Canada's? What does the Valdez have to do with this leak?
Of course. We will to have a new Crown Corporation making it impossible to stop if KM steps aside.
So how is it going Brian?
So how is it going Brian?
It's getting more and more uncertain! For the good of the country and its populace it had better be!
'What kind of help do you need?' Canadian banks eye Indigenous investment in pipeline expansion
With the Trans Mountain Kinder Morgan expansion project up in the air, Canadian banks are approaching Indigenous leaders in B.C. with offers to buy equity in the project, according to a First Nation chief in B.C.'s Interior.
Financial institutions are reaching out to First Nations bands, asking "what kind of help do you need," said Mike LeBourdais, Chief of the Whispering Pines First Nation.
The proposed Trans Mountain pipeline expansion would run through his reserve near Clinton.
Having shares in the pipeline could give First Nations communities a stake in the success in the project, and give the federal government some leverage in its pro-pipeline stance, despite opposition from several Indigenous groups living on or near the coast.
That will be the focus of a meeting between First Nations and the federal government later this month.
Federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau confirmed his department is "engaging with Indigenous peoples" on the matter, but wouldn't confirm whether it will help or collaborate with First Nations to seek equity in the Trans Mountain project.
First Nations groups would not disclose which banks had reached out to them, or what types of negotiations were underway.

That will put the Dippers in an uncomfortable position. I doubt any of them have the balls to peotest an Indian project. Just wait until the building trades pony up some funding in exchange for it being a union project. We will all be rolling in dough.
I am so glad to see these bands getting onside with the project, ts. Their communities stand to reap substantial benefits by investing in the line and I am truly happy to see them stand up against others of their brethren who put ideology above the good of their people.

Hi Mowich - I was just looking at the maps showing the pipeline expansion (http://www.neb-one.gc.ca/pplctnflng/mjrpp/trnsmntnxpnsn/mps-eng.html) but couldn't find one for any area near Clinton. Perhaps this a recent development since the maps were made?
Haven't had any luck so far finding a map of the reserve lands, JLM but I would gather from the article that the pipeline would fall within their boundary. I did find this description of their economic investments thus far.

596,000 litres of sewage released into Halifax harbour after MacKay Bridge break-in
Not a big deal, no need to warn anyone, same as anytime that we release screened sewage, just don't swim for 2-3 days and it will be OK.
