Don't worry, they're more than happy to move their interests South. Careful what you wish for, you might just get it.
Yep this latest move just officially made us a laughing stock, who in their right mind is going to want to invest Billions into a country that has been just officially been taken over by protestors rights? Scammers might invest just to get the Gov. to buy the project if they can convince them it's for the National interest
Being the laughing stock is one thing...being the town leper is something else altogether.
Who controls the tap? When a leaky valve drops a few litres on the ground and the enviros lose their shit over it again, is Butts going to be the one to turn the spigot? Can't see that working out in the Canadian taxpayers favor.
Injun "pipe carriers" will be contracted or supplying labour for the pump station maintence and daily line inspection.
It's part of the 156 requirements imposed by BC and FN interests.
If something goes wrong, blame the lazy Injuns.

Both Husky and Petro-Canada were failed Govt attempts at Govt exploration, production, refining and retail.
Now now no pickin' on my western cousins, or I'll sic my American cousin the lawyer on Ya..............
Americans make shitty pizza.
Don't worry, they'll be Unjins and a protected by the NDP that is losing Union support.

I agree especially the Chinese companies that want more control over our oil, they don't really adhere to Canadian laws anyway perfect environment for them
Yep both a bi-product of the failed NEP program
HOW CAN PEOPLE NOT UNDERSTAND THIS?
Would you walk here? Swim here? Take your family here? Eat food from this ocean?
Picture our incredible BC coastline forever spoiled by the inevitable, eventual, accidental oil spill. Where would all of Canada, let alone the rest of the world come, to enjoy what is known to be one of the most beautiful and pristine places on the planet? Come to "vacation".
Oh wait, you are only vacationing here. Well, we live here! This is our home, our love, our stewardship. Canadians used to be proud of our stewardship of this country, of our forests, our waters, our purity, if you will.
At the VERY least, we should keep it out of our waters.
It just breaks my heart that people cannot understand where true progress lies. And don't give me that sad old argument "you drive a car don't you?" That is NOT the point here. Technology is already developed and growing in other arenas for transportation and for heat etc. We need to grow up and look to the future of this incredible planet we live on.
I know that the technology for solar, wind, geo thermal etc. energy is far from perfect, but it seems that ONLY dire necessity is going to be the mother of these inventions, because as humans, we always seem to wait just a bit too long into a disaster before acting. So much good could be done in development of new energy with the money that our government is spending to buy a dinosaur.
I also know I only understand in a small way about the oil industry, how many things it powers, and I realize how third world countries would damage the planet less with oil and natural gas than with coal, and even about how Trudeau is trying to give Canada a viable economical boost for the short term, but that doesn't make it the right thing to do.
We need to think harder and faster, and make better decisions for the future. - Wendy White
