Turns out pipelines don't do much for the economy

XL but Keystone flew under their radar.

Just like Line 3.

Once the Nebraska debacle is sorted out they will be wrong about XL as well

 

[petros]

Of course they will be.

Approx . Fifty two cents a litre tax in B.C.s lower mainland at present . I wonder how the governments are going to fill their coffers once everybody switches to electric ?

Chargers in your garage can be metered through the smart grid and you will pay the same taxes and a higher electricity rate than your domestic used power.

Cool huh?

You must be assuming that policy doesn't make sense but are fine with rail cars.

Trumptards man.

Rail is using "tax incentives" to pull oil tankers with NG powered locos.

Nice and green like.

CN tries out liquefied natural gas to power locomotives. ... On tracks between Edmonton and Fort McMurray, CN is testing two 3,000-horsepower locomotives retrofitted with engines that run on a fuel mix of 90-per-cent liquefied natural gas and 10-per-cent diesel.

Money well spent like Red Lily wind funded by the people of ON to feed the Bakken oil patch in SK.

Rail cars are green today, but polluting tomorrow.

Poor conbots.

Go easy on him.

Facts are tough.

Just as an aside how much is this guy like taxslave?

 

[mentalfloss]

Cap'n, petros and taxslave are the same guy.


They've been astroturfing the forum since they went on EI after oil prices dropped.

Feds to intervene in B.C.'s pipeline challenge

OTTAWA - The federal government will intervene in British Columbia's reference case over the $7.4-billion Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould said Thursday.
The case filed in the B.C. Court of Appeal asks if the province has jurisdiction to regulate the transport of oil through its territory, a key question in the political battle over the project.
Wilson-Raybould said Ottawa's view will prevail.
"We are confident in Parliament's jurisdiction and will intervene on the question in order to defend our clear jurisdiction over interprovincial pipelines," she said in a statement.
While project architect Kinder Morgan has halted investment in the expansion unless and until the clouds of uncertainty looming over it can be cleared, giving the government a May 31 deadline, the federal government remains a strong — and increasingly adamant — backer.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has vowed the pipeline will be built, and has instructed Finance Minister Bill Morneau to sit down with Kinder Morgan to find a financial solution that will soothe their investors.
He also promised legislation that would reaffirm Ottawa's authority to press ahead with a development deemed to be in Canada's national interest.
B.C. Premier John Horgan, meanwhile, has said he will use every tool available to stop the pipeline, arguing that his province has every right to protect its residents, economy and environment from the threat of an oil spill.
Trudeau has made the pipeline a central component of a vision that couples economic expansion with environmental stewardship.
Trudeau said the pipeline was approved by his government in 2016 after a rejigged environmental assessment and Indigenous consultation process, and only in concert with the Liberal climate change and oceans protection plan.
Approval came in consultation with the previous B.C. Liberal government, which gave its consent to the project after its own conditions were met.
Horgan's election last year changed everything. His minority government exists at the pleasure of the Green party, and on condition of his continued opposition to the project.

Quebec has already informed Ottawa that the provinces have the right to decide environmental issues in their jurisdictions.

Is that why they dump sewage and have zero issues with tankers in the St Larry?
