If they truly were out to stop the line they should be camped out near Edmonton not in Burnaby.
Pipe is being made, heavy equipment is being rounded up, tenders are out, unions are prepping, Natives are out smudging and waving magic eagle feathers to bless the line.
It's a go.

Actually it is all paid for by the public (and more) in the form of artificially high oil-prices. You all knew that, Right? Please lie if you have too, lol as this is for 'points'.
One is an eradication program aimed at 'skeeters'. Do you need further information on said 'ritual'?
They see us white boys getting rich off every lb of material that goes through the pipe when they get a one time payout that cannot be updated no matter what and fixes are patches at best and price is the only guideline for who gets the contract. First Nations Companies (lol) need not apply. It is made to appear to be a lot of money but in reality it is 'pennies on the dollar'.
... And the source of your numbers?
From the Victoria Sewage Treatment Alliance
Facts Victoria Sewage Alliance
science has not proven that raw sewage harms the environment, has it?
Yes it has. In fish toxicity tests on Victoria's sewage, the fish died within 20 minutes. In identical tests on pulp mill effluent, fish routinely survive for more than 96 hours. These are just a few examples of the growing amount of independent scientific data (i.e. not conducted by a government agency biased against sewage treatment) that supports the need for treatment.
Victoria has discharged raw sewage since 1894; why change now?
In 1894, those responsible for Victoria's sewage did what they were first asked to do - get rid of it. In that era industry also discharged it's effluent untreated, but as our understanding of industrial effluent changed, so did society’s tolerance for pollution. We now understand that raw sewage includes many harmful and toxic chemicals, therefore, environmental laws no longer tolerate raw sewage discharges from municipalities.
Once the cost of gas goes up to $2.50/l in the Lower Mainland, I suspect that the protests will wane
Cost of groceries and basics will rise as a result... Anything to do with rail, roads or air will see a premium.
But I do get (and agree) with your comment all the same

Accord to CRD they are still dumping raw.

Options were getting limited. My next suggestion would have been "load it on a camel" :lol:
That would be taking work away from the mustangs that roam the wilds of southern AB. Goats and sheep are better beasts of burden in the rocky places. You didn't get many bonuses at your last job did you?
Victoria is just the outlet for multiple communities and municipalities that pump their untreated sewage into the ocean.
The devastation to marine life is catastrophic, fish dying within 20 minutes of exposure to it.
Mind you, considering the nature of the toxins, it's no surprise.
