Ya, but... So is Scheer. They are both in the pocket of Big Oil. Keep it in the ground. We don't need it and anything oil can do, hemp can do it better.
No Sheer is in the pocket of big milk . Quebec Liberals .

What vehicles do you know of that run on hemp? Who produces all this hemp?

So Canada has never has a major oil spill at sea! So the two quarts dumped in Burrard Inlet was a little over played at the time. I think a lot of us were under the impression it was second to the Exxon Valdes and from what I can gather that happened because the skipper was drunk. Two assholes did manage to sink a ferry though, which is certainly bad enough. I wonder if there is still oil and gasoline escaping from the vehicles aboard.
There is still oil coming from the ferry. That tub has a lot of oil and fuel of it's own to leak out. But it was caused by government union employees not doing their job so it is OK.

Big deal. Did you bitch about a 100 fold increase in cruise ship traffic along whale migration routes?
Remind me again of the death toll and response time when the ferry from Prince Rupert to Port Hardy sank.
What measure are there in place if a cruise ship with 2500 souls on board goes down in the inside passage?
They are more in the 5000 and up range. Since the one that crashed in Seymour narrows 25 or so years ago the ships always run in pairs since that is the only way there is enough accomadation for all the people in the event of a crash. ANd they don't let government employees steer the ship.

Slightly more realistic than the usual moonbat idea of using unicorn farts and pixi dust for lubrication. We can just turn all our productive farmland into hemp farms.And build a few dozen nuke plants to power all the lights needed to grow a couple of bales of low grade pot.

B.C. and First Nations oppose it, Alberta wants it badly – and after an ultimatum from a U.S. oil giant, Ottawa has bought it to build it themselves. The Trans Mountain pipeline expansion would bring billions in new revenue, but it would also mean an increase in coast-to-port tanker traffic, and with that, a risk of more oil spills. We follow a tanker as it threads the needle from Burnaby to the open ocean.

Scary shit. Too many variables, too much risk.




POOR CLUELESS Cliffy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Oil tankers routinely go up St Lawrence River with no trouble!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And there are LOTS of Yankees who want the Alberta oil patch CLOSED DOWN.....................................


BECAUSE IT WILL MAKE THEIR OIL PATCH.....................................................


MORE VALUABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


To many hypocrites on both sides.........................................


are WAY MORE INTERESTED IN PERSONAL PROFIT........................................


than they ever were about the environment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

they can't even clean that up but they can clean up a major bitumen spill?

even someone with your limited intellect must be able to see the problem there.

I'm pretty sure the 'Port Authority' could take remote control of all commercial ships in it's 'area' start about 12 miles off-shore and have it run flawlessly.

That is a lot of money for the Vancouver area and it does nothing as far as getting imports into the interior any faster or at any higher volume let alone a reduced shipping cost. Move the line north (or not) or build a new 8 lane highway with rail support in the north so it domes out at Dawson and Peace River becomes the 'Winnipeg' for the goods (from China) going north. They have lots of money, once their living conditions are brought above 4th world conditions.
The end of the inlet just above Prince Rupert would be the gateway to the north. Considering the swamp that gets crossed compared to drilling through mountain ranges it would be a lot cheaper and flat land can be made productive if you have a road already in place. The access would make the lake at the headwaters of the Peace River prone recreational land so wild and expensive


Figures the 'best route' is under the 'black box'. Flat, from the lake to the coast.

The pipeline would use the lake and the canyon at the 'T' while a road would be just south so the flat land could be accesses by 'settlers', maybe a Blueberry greenhouse as the swamp could be tapped for the heat in the water




Oh MHz........................................


we could heat about half of Canada...............................................


if we tapped into the heat of.....................................


YOUR FEVERED BRAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Just keep up with your LSD regimen till you see the light!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Yes......................go to the BRIGHT LIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4. Atlantic Empress
It was in July 1979, two oil tankers were collided each other in the Caribbean Sea, off the coast of Tobago during a tropical storm.

When the accident occurred, the Atlantic Empress was en route to Beaumont from Saudi Arabia while Aegean Captain was sailing from Aruba to Singapore. Immediately after the accident, the supertankers- the Atlantic Empress and Aegean Captain- started to leak their cargo and caught fire.

According to reports, around 88.3 million gallons of crude oil was discharged into the sea, making the accident the largest ship-sourced oil spill in the world. In addition, the accident also claimed the lives of 26 crew members as the Atlantic Empress exploded la

6. ABT Summer
On May 28, 1991, about 700 nautical miles from the coast of Angola, an oil tanker named ABT Summer witnessed an explosion on board and caught fire, expelling about 51 million gallons of oil into the sea.

The oil slick resulted from the spill was measured around80 square miles. The tanker was burning for the next three days until it capsized, killing five of the 32 crew members aboard the vessel.

More information about this explosion is not available since a major rescue operation was not ensued immediately, mainly because the oil spill occurred in high seas.

However, since the accident occurred in the high sea, most of the oil leaked from the vessel is believed to have been dispersed, minimising the impact on the marine environment.
