lol $17 an hour software engineers.

Amazon has brought 3,000 real jobs to BC and pose no threat whatsoever to our fishing and tourism industries which are worth billions and are in fact what BC is.

While everyone is anxious to get in on the oil profiteering BC is not getting enough out of it to justify the risks involved.

Canada gets $22 billion - Alberta gets $20 billion and BC gets $5 billion?

**** that.

They haven't brought any IT jobs. It's not 2022 yet.

This is expected to bring an additional 3,000 high tech jobs to the city in fields including e-commerce technology, cloud computing, and machine learning.

The new headquarters will be located at the old Canada Post headquarters, at 349 West Georgia Street where Monday’s announcement was made. It is expected to open in 2022.

113 years how many jobs has oil provided to Vancouver area?

One of the Alberta Tribes just smudged and blessed their piece of skin in the game last week.

It's moving forward.

The Steel and pipe mill in Regina is hiring.

Ground-breaking ceremony for Trans Mountain pipeline site

Enoch Cree Nation Chief William (Billy) Morin welcomed Kinder Morgan Canada President Ian Anderson, Alberta Premier Rachel Notley and Natural Resources Minister Amarjeet Sohi for a blessing ceremony and ground-breaking event for the Enoch Cree Stockpile Site that will be used for the Expansion Project.

“We are proud of the relationship we have built with Trans Mountain and to partner with them on this project. This worksite will allow us to create opportunities for our people and community for many years to come,” says Enoch Cree Nation Chief Billy Morin, who adds the Nation plans on using the site improvements to kick-off their industrial subdivision.

“We are pleased to partner with Chief Morin and his community to build this worksite that will play an important role in the construction of the Expansion Project and have a lasting legacy for the Enoch Cree Nation,” says Ian Anderson, President of Kinder Morgan Canada. “Getting ‘boots-on-the-ground’ in Alberta is a major milestone for Trans Mountain, but more importantly for the communities, workers, local businesses and Indigenous Groups that have been waiting to share in the success of the Project. We’re excited to deliver on our commitments and ensure as many people as possible can benefit from an expanded pipeline.”

Trans Mountain will store all of the construction materials and equipment for Spread 1 on the Enoch Cree Stockpile Site, including pipe, fittings, valves, bends and other materials needed for the Expansion Project.

Spread 1 is approximately 50 km and commences at Trans Mountain’s Edmonton Storage Terminal east of the City of Edmonton in Strathcona County, and terminates west of the City at Highway 60 south of Acheson.

“[The] blessing is an important step forward in the construction of the Trans Mountain Expansion Project. It demonstrates just how integral our Indigenous communities are to the success of this pipeline and Alberta and Canada’s economic future. With this blessing, construction for the Enoch Cree Stockpile Site can begin and we move that much closer to getting this pipeline built,” says Premier Rachel Notley.

“Canada is a place where the environment and the economy go hand in hand, and where projects that are in the national interest get built. The blessing received today is an important milestone in the ongoing construction of this project,” says Amarjeet Sohi, Minister of Natural Resources and MP for Edmonton Mill Woods.

Trans Mountain filed a six month outlook summary schedule with the National Energy Board on 3 July 2018 outlining construction activities planned for the remainder of 2018. Construction has been underway on the Expansion Project for the past 10 months at the Westridge Marine Terminal in Burnaby, and work is underway and will continue in 2018 along the entire pipeline route to develop temporary infrastructure sites such as stockpile sites, construction yards and camps.

Construction will begin in Spread 2 in Central Alberta in August 2018, including clearing of trees and vegetation, as well as measures to protect the environment, such as weed control, relocation of any rare plants and wildlife surveys. Spread 2 includes approximately 290 km of pipeline between Edmonton and Jasper National Park in Alberta.

Trans Mountain has developed plans for avoiding or reducing environmental effects of land clearing and worksite preparation. Environmental Inspectors will be on site to monitor and enforce a wide range of mitigation measures and techniques included in the Environmental Protection Plans.

Construction will begin in the North Thompson region of B.C. in late September. Additional construction is planned in the Lower Mainland of B.C. and the work at Westridge Marine Terminal in Burnaby, that has been underway since September 2017, will continue.

Since the federal government’s announcement on 29 May 2018 to purchase the Trans Mountain Pipeline system and the Expansion Project, Trans Mountain has been moving forward with construction planning on the Project and working to update the construction timeline.

Progress has been made on preparation activities, receiving materials, seeking permits, meeting conditions, signing employment and procurement contracts, refining engineering designs, and notifying neighbours and stakeholders about upcoming construction activities. These are all important steps in the process that need to occur before ‘boots-on-the-ground’ construction can begin.

Yeah apparently 300+ Albertans are going to BC to enforce the "Get the f-ck out" Supreme Court ruling themselves.

Trans Mountain ‘pipeline is going to get built’: Trudeau dismisses B.C.’s bitumen ban

EDMONTON — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the Kinder Morgan oil pipeline expansion will happen despite British Columbia’s latest attempt to hinder the project.

Speaking on Edmonton talk radio station CHED on Thursday, Trudeau said the pipeline, which would take Alberta crude to the West Coast for shipment to Asian markets, is in the national interest and will go ahead.

“That pipeline is going to get built,” Trudeau said. “We will stand by our decision. We will ensure that the Kinder Morgan pipeline gets built.”

B.C.’s environment minister has said his minority government plans to ban increased shipments of diluted bitumen off the province’s coast until it can determine that shippers are prepared and able to properly clean up a spill.

The move has infuriated Alberta Premier Rachel Notley, who has accused B.C. of trying to change the rules after the federal government already gave the project the green light.

Trudeau said Canada needs to get Alberta’s oil safely to markets other than the United States. He said the federal government did the research and has spent billions on spill response.

“The Kinder Morgan pipeline is not a danger to the B.C. coast,” he said.

Trudeau said it’s normal for provinces to have differences of opinion and that’s why there is a federal government.

“One of the reasons we have a national government to oversee national interests is to step up for the interests of all Canadians and that’s exactly what I am going to do,” he said, without elaborating on what steps he might take.

Notley has threatened trade retaliation with B.C. if the shipping ban goes ahead. She held an emergency cabinet meeting Wednesday to discuss what legal and economic levers Alberta can pull in its spat with its neighbour to the west. She specifically mentioned interprovincial trade in electricity.

Oil is natural, organic , a healthy choice, right up there with fresh fruit and vegetables, you stupid monkey.
Hydro carbon is next to the supreme creater, only a transhuman would object to the godliness of naturally electrically produced hydro carbons, only an idiot would raise any objection. The progress in the transformation of wood into electricity in the near past and apparent present is signifigant. Many of us are viable contemporary contributors realized by wood heat. Our adherance to traditional sustinance must not be questioned, especially in the face of fossile records. You burn that stuff or you disappear from the fossile record. Dog bless you and protect you.



Don,t get left behind in a tarpit mentalflop.

Go ahead.

Its just going to reappear somewhere else
And they will be moved again and again and again.

Morgan said that if the campers are still there after the Supreme Court ruling on Aug. 10, the Alberta committee will make its way to B.C. and take matters into their own hands.

“We’re at a point where if the authorities won’t come and kick the illegal people out of there, then we’ll do it ourselves,” he said.

“These guys have set up two-storey structures, they’ve got junk laying around, they’ve got trash — so we’ll just come in and cleanwirking?
