I am.


Upon what do you base your opinion of what lawyers should do in their non-professional interactions? Do you have extensive experience with lawyers, or are you taking this from general culture? If so, I must warn you that the average TV "law" show contains a round dozen major errors per episode.

you've been formally educated on the principles of justice, not I. Agreed?

lets keep this dialog open. the next time to you say something so far in left field that contradicts your education, I'll try to be around to point it out to you.

Whoa hey you forgot Husky opening up a massive offshore play with no pipeline approval straight on to tankers for export up and running 2020.

Is that tankers going transpolar to China or through The Panama Canal?

Don't you go to the gym so that you can stay in good enough shape to chase after ambulances while wearing roller skates?

I can just imagine lawyers on bicycles, electric bikes, and other vehicles that could allow them to speed through alleyways chasing ambulances.

... giving out their cards as they collide with each other and yelling "I'M GONNA SUE!" at no one in particular.

TransCanada Corp. gave its strongest signal yet that it has enough demand from producers to fill the long-delayed Keystone XL pipeline with oil. Now the ball is in Nebraska’s court.

While the company has long said it expected sufficient support from oil producers, TransCanada completed an open season for them to bid for space on the line last month, giving it hard data on demand.

Then, on a conference call to discuss third-quarter earnings on Thursday, Royal Bank of Canada analyst Robert Kwan asked, “Is it fair to say, based on what you’re seeing in terms of the submissions, that you pretty much have the volumes that you need but that obviously there are some conditions and other things that you need to work through?”

“Your comment is accurate,” replied Paul Miller, head of TransCanada’s liquids pipeline business, who added that the company is still evaluating issues raised by potential shippers. “We’re quite encouraged by the results we have seen.”

With the question of producer support mostly settled, the focus turns to a decision from regulators in Nebraska later this month on whether the pipeline can proceed. While any ruling there will almost certainly be challenged in court, a go-ahead would give TransCanada unfettered authority to begin laying pipe for the first time in its almost decade-long push to build the pipeline, which would bring more crude from Canada’s oil sands to U.S. Gulf Coast refineries

After $3 Billion Spent, Keystone XL Can’t Get Oil Companies to Sign On

Keystone XL is facing a new challenge: The oil producers and refiners the pipeline was originally meant to serve aren’t interested in it anymore.

Delayed for nearly a decade by protests and regulatory roadblocks, Keystone XL got the green light from President Donald Trump in March. But the pipeline’s operator, TransCanada Corp., is struggling to line up customers to ship crude from Canada to the U.S. Gulf Coast, say people familiar...
I love it when you cheer about American protectionism under O'Bumwad f*cking Canada over. It's just another example of how you hate Canada.

A big leak on the eve of a permit decision.

Sounds a little fishy.

Not according to WAPO.

Do you think it's bitumen, dilbit or just plain old crude?

The first Keystone pipeline, which runs 1,136 miles from Hardisty in Alberta, carries about 500,000 barrels a day of thick bitumen from the oil sands area to pipeline, refining and storage networks in Steele City, Neb., and Patoka, Ill.
What did you learn about Hardisty from the "will Alberta get a pipeline" thread?
