The mindless morons that currently are leading B.C. Into a homemade depression would do well to read this.
They better get to work. Following a train derailment in Saskatchewan in December that leaked a sh-t load of crude , C.P. has just had another rolling pipeline leave the tracks and burst into flames . Scary .

A pipeline through the Port of Churchill mentioned as Saskatchewan creates committee on pipeline expansion

WINNIPEG -- The potential development of an oil pipeline to Churchill is up for discussion in Saskatchewan.

That province‘s Premier Scott Moe has put together a committee of cabinet ministers to assess how the government could help get more pipelines built in the province.

He says the idea for the committee came from communities, Indigenous leaders and businesses that want to expand access into the United States or create it through the Port of Churchill in Manitoba.


Moe said encouraging pipeline expansion and supporting Indigenous participation are two of the goals in the government's plan to grow Saskatchewan's population and economy.

NO NEW PIPELINE PROPOSALS

Blaine Pedersen, Manitoba Minister of Agriculture and Resource Development said in an emailed statement to CTV News:

“There are no new pipeline proposals currently at a stage that would require dialogue between our government and Saskatchewan. We are always interested in exploring opportunities for economic development in northern Manitoba, though any proposal of this nature would have to go through the proper environmental approval processes. As well, a full consultation process with all stakeholders, including Indigenous leaders and communities, would be required before any such project would be approved,” he said in the statement.

The idea is being opposed by Eric Reder, Manitoba director for the Wilderness Committee. He said boggy terrain in the region means greater risk of a rupture or spill.

AMC WANTS INVOLVEMENT IN DISCUSSIONS

The Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs said if discussions do start between the two provinces, it hopes there would be meaningful engagement with First Nations and Manitoba.

“The AMC calls on Saskatchewan Premier Scott and Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister to ensure that First Nations in Manitoba are involved in the discussions for the development of an oil pipeline to Churchill. First Nations in Manitoba must be involved, consulted and engaged in the process in a manner that respects their rights and interests. This includes considerations of First Nations’ interests in other infrastructure including the railway, and, if developed, their involvement that leads to positive economic benefits and prosperity,” said Grand Chief Arlen Dumas in a statement.

The only time I use twitter is to congratulate my sports teams, pete. Other than that I have absolutely no use for that site at all.

Was on the CBC website for awhile today and surprisingly they were actually letting us comment on the decision. In less than 15 minutes hundreds had signed in to talk about how happy they are - and the majority of commenters are just that - with today's Federal court decision. The naysayers are promptly brought to heel by all of us who support this decision and all the bands that wish to see the project finished - hopefully in their hands.




PITY THE POOR CBC SAPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


They are SO DESPERATE to get anybody to look at their Pravda style CRAP


that every once in a while they ALLOW a real piece of news to be shown to the public!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Such as that public approval of the pipeline!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



In spite of relentless CENSORSHIP by LIE-berals and their media whores..................


THE TRUTH KEEPS SLIPPING OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Pathetic Cdn news media whores are CAUGHT in a TRAP of their own making!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


They have found they cannot easily sell propaganda...............................


and they DO NOT WISH to be upstaged by any other media........................


so they are COMPELLED -once in a while - to make - AND TO ALLOW some honest comment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


CBC and its media whore allies WILL PERMIT SOME DISCUSSION......................


and will then QUICKLY BURY IT under MORE PROPAGANDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


For instance their latest WHINE is about RCMP opening roads to construction crews



in the face of opposition from "hereditary chiefs" - who happen TO BE UN-ELECTED................


and thus HAVE NO POWER OR INFLUENCE other than a connection to some FAMOUS DEAD PERSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And those arrogant hereditary chiefs are trying to BULLY THE DULY ELECTED CHIEFS - and the people who voted.......................


for BOTH THE ELECTED CHIEFS AND FOR THE PIPELINE DEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Fascism IS ALIVE AND WELL IN THE B.C. interior!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Producing what?
Raisin warehouses mostly. Seems everyone wants to come to BC to die. But. Only the lower Mainland, South Island and Kelowna area. The rest of the province is starving until the pipelines get going. LNG plant construction is starting to ramp up.

And I have one important message...…………….immigrants to the province should be precluded from moving into those three areas you mention as they put pressure on too many facilities and services in the province. Just consider the cost of building 1000 miles of road in Vancouver compared to areas like the Cariboo or East Kootenay, not to mention much easier on the environment.

With the new conditions and 3 year old estimate did you believe it would cost the same amount?

If you exclude the cost of delay, gender impact assessments, intentional and deliberate government stalling through a federal election, and general bureaucratic bloat, the original estimate would likely not have been far off the mark. When was the last time you saw government execute a project more efficiently than the private sector?

I believe this was predicted the day professor socks announced he was buying the pipe. It would be interesting to know many 10's of billions has Canada spent to date in the interest of maintaining Trudeau's virtue. Actually, it's likely best if we don't know. Not like it matters anyhow, he campaigned on the fantasy of self-balancing budgets and promise of massive deficit spending, and Canadians eagerly gave him the nod.


President and CEO Ian Anderson says the company owned by the federal government has spent $2.5 billion to date, including the impact of delays and additional regulatory processes, leaving an additional $8.4 billion needed to complete the project, plus $1.7 billion of financial carrying costs.

TMX pipeline update: Cost jumps to $12.6 billion

The estimated cost to build the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion has jumped by 70 per cent, to $12.6 billion from $7.4 billion.
https://bc.ctvnews.ca/trans-mountain-pipeline-update-estimated-cost-jumps-by-70-1.4801941
Just think. If it had been built when it was supposed to the cost would have been under 7 billion. Now that the price has been driven up dramatically the very people that caused the price increase are upset about the cost.
