I would not be opposed to paying for infrastructure through tolls. The Freeway from Hope to Kamloops that was built in the late 80s was a tollway for years. As far as oil money, it could have been built with it, but this is an example of BC shooting itself in the foot. Block the pipelines and watch infrastructure, health care, and education, and social programs suffer, with the loss of revenue.


SCREW the toll roads!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


There are several near me and I REFUSE to use them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


It is easier just to alter travel times and avoid traffic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



As for using oil revenue to improve roads...............................


GREAT IDEA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


But it WOULD BE BETTER to pay down some of our LIE-beral debt load!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If Canada would allow the Oil and Gas sector to not only improve the infrastructure by building pipelines to the Pacific Ocean, and to Eastern Canada, but also build more oil refineries, Canada could produce millions in revenue daily. The oil and gas industry is the most profitable industry Canada has.

If we try and dismantle the Oil and Gas industry, it will indirectly affect other provinces, as they will ahve less money to put towards costs in health care, education, social programs, etc. This is especially true for Quebec and Eastern Canada, but also for BC, since a very significant revenue source is oil and gas fields in Northeastern BC.

People who protest the pipelines do not realize that Canada has arguably the strictest environmental regulations in the World for natural resource exploration. There is no reason for BC or First Nations communities to protest, as BC and other provinces would ahve to rely on countries was inferior regulations.
Come now facts have never trumped emotion .

Oh Girth..................your mind is drifting on this oil thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The ENTIRE NORTH AMERICAN MARKET for oil and its byproducts....................................


has ALREADY been divvied up - that job done LONG AGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


There IS NO NEED for new oil refineries here because there are no new oil markets here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Our LIE-beral govt has made noises in the past about building new refineries - operated by govt..........................


but of course that would mean an govt sponsored ATTACK on private business interests................................


in order for LIE-berals and their HOG allies to wrestle a place in the market for themselves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


To understand HOW BAD a govt run refinery would be - you should read up on the DISASTROUS HISTORY............................


of Petro Canada - the oil Co creation of Pierre Trudope - the father of Our idiot Boy Justin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Petro Canada was created to "Be our window into the oil markets" - and it was a MONEY LOSING DISASTER................


from the start!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The civil service union HOGS running Petro Canada were SO INEPT that they never made a penny of profit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Even though they were given FREE ACCESS to Cdn oil fields - that private companies HAD TO PAY to get at ...........................


and the private companies DID MAKE A PROFIT from their paid access!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The new pipelines are needed to ship Cdn oil to ports to be loaded onto ships to be sent to NEW markets across the sea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


There are a LOT of customers unhappy with buying Russian and Iranian oil - because those THUGS......................................


use their oil revenue TO BUY WEAPONS to threaten their neighbours with!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



And NO - you cannot refine the oil here for the over seas market here because shipping gasoline is much more DANGEROUS ........


than shipping less volatile oil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


THE ONLY INTEREST LIE-berals have in the oil industry - is to find the QUICKEST WAY TO KILL IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The more LIE-berals meddle in markets - the BIGGER THE TAX BILL WE GET HIT WITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


That KInder Morgan pipeline WAS BEING BUILD WITH PRIVATE MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Until LIE-berals started screwing around and forced construction to stop..............................


and then to avoid HEAVY Yankee tariffs in exchange for CHEATING Kinder Morgan stock holders....................................



LIE-berals BORROWED $4.7 BILLION DOLLARS to BUY the half built pipe line and calm Washington!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


So we are now stuck with a half built pipeline -that LIE-berals ORIGINALLY gave permission for in 2016!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And we tax payers have a bill for $4.7 billion dollars - NOT INCLUDING ON GOING INTEREST PAYMENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



And we tax payers will have to BORROW AND SPEND roughly ANOTHER $5 billion dollars if the pipeline is to be finished!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And considering that virtually ALL govt projects these days are OVER DUE AND VASTLY OVER BUDGET............................


that $5 billion completion fund may be WAY UNDER the final cost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If the Government were to improve the infrastructure to the point that it is a limited access highway, most crossings would be rerouted through tunnels under the highway, or overpasses above the highway.


Jean Chretien LIE-berals TRIED to encourage Railways to expand their operations as railways are more fuel efficient....................


than hauling stuff with trucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Naturally the LIE-beral plan went NOWHERE FAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Railways LIKE hauling stuff like iron ore and lumber and wheat as it SAVES ON TRACK MAINTENANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


If a rail car carrying wheat or lumber goes off the rails......................................


it can be left laying there till railway employees get around to hauling it onto the tracks and taking it away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


THIS IS NOT THE CASE WITH FOOD STUFFS, PASSENGERS OR OIL CARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


RAILWAYS DO NOT WANT TO BOTHER WITH PASSENGERS AND OTHER SENSITIVE PRODUCT...........................


THAT WOULD REQUIRE SWIFT PICK UP AND RESCUE BY RAILWAY STAFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Railways long ago made their feelings known about what biz they want to deal in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
