Turns out pipelines don't do much for the economy

There is nothing more that the Prairies would like than to export through the Hudson's Bay lower transport costs, closer ports, not handcuffed by B.C. and Ont. labour Unions, etc. Unfortunately we need a few more years of Climate Change to make it possible since the warm water from the North Pole never made it that far South yet.
Kinder Morgan Canada, in May 2012, announced a proposed expansion of the Trans Mountain Pipeline system
Do the math from May 2012 to November 4, 2015. Count the months then count how many months Trudy has been in.
He had it passed until Clark demanded a piece of the royalties from Alta. and used the First Canadians to force a court challenge over consultations which also backfired in her face. Do you think Harper would have let it get this far out of control? BTW Northern Gateway would also still be in play driving tree huggers crazy. When JT took the ball he wanted all the projects cancelled until the Chinese said do you want a trade agreement? Creating this disaster in Canadian politics.
But let us not forget Clark started this crap and it wasn't over the environment it was over monetary greed.
Thanks I should have included Energy East would also still be in play to have oil available for the European market challenging the world and strengthening our economy through surpluses vs. Deficits. It is actually sad how far we fell from the strongest economy and best place to do business in the world to now being compared to Greece.
You are one confused man.
What? No Ontario?
They are 27th? Wow!
What went so horribly wrong?
I could shed light on why your post is incredibly stupid, but it's so assinine that you should really figure it out for yourself.
You are not from BC and you do not understand anything that is happening here.
Like every other ignore lister you simply invent your own reality where you can hide from the truth.
The Kinder Morgan Expansion has never been approved by many of the people that are supposed to have been consulted about it.
The only way BC can approve it is if there are ways to clean it up.
There are not.
Uh huh. Like your graph? Explain it in full.
Why? Is production dropping? Are exports dropping?
Ask somebody in Metro Vancouver if pipelines impact the economy.

Tell me what is so much more special about B.C. than any other province that have had interprovincial pipelines approved to cross through them?
Tell me what is so special about BC that only it has to put up with a(nother) pipeline?
Quebec doesn't.
When they were asked they said **** you. But in French
BC can't even refine what it needs in BC and relies on pipelines and imports.
There are live cams at the Peace Arch and Pacific crossings into Washington.
Check out the long lines of people crossing to buy gasoline.
Only a half hour wait right now.

All that idling is good for the environment.

So the question is why can't they just **** off out of BC?
Why the double standard? Because they are better than us?
TCPL pulled out with and had no support from JT TMPL isn't pulling out and have half ass support from JT, why doesn't B.C. pull all their pipeline licenses from their oil and gas projects to show how serious they are about oil spills?
Wasn't Quebec's original concern over whale breeding, before the Montreal Mafia began extorting TCPL on the reroute.
Why doesn't Alberta start a trade war with Quebec?
Why no emergency meetings in Ottawa To settle the constitutional emergency over Quebec telling Alberta to **** off?
These are all rhetorical questions, as you clearly unable to answer anything at all.
