He needs to get all this out of his system.

I wonder if his effeminate looks are the cause of his rage

Here is Trudeau announcing his approval.

"Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the decision in Ottawa today, saying the project would give "much needed new hope" to thousands in Alberta and provide $4.5 billion in federal and provincial government revenue."


Good for Alberta.

Good for Oil companies.

Good for feds.

Absolutely useless to BC which will bear the burden of all spills and mishaps.

Thank you - but no thank you

There is no benefit to BC from this pipeline.

Well I guess China gets a break - what about BC?

There is lots of benefit to BC. Real jobs for one.Get a big enough pipe or more of them and we could have a dozen refineries on the coast. That is a lot of jobs and taxes for all your freebees.

Who else would be stupid enough to buy a port for oil in an oil tanker exclusion zone?

WHo besides a flatlander would be stupid enough to put a tanker exclusion zone around a port city?

It will create very few jobs while directly threatening tens of thousands of current and future jobs in fishing, aquaculture and tourism.

You will never build another refinery in BC, it is simply impossible to do.

THat is precious little in return for risking basically everything we have.

And for what?

SO some private oil companies and a private pipeline company can make billions of dollars in profits?

**** you and **** them - it ain't happening.

So the answer is get off the gasoline.

Vancouver cannot maintain is ridiculous existence on refined gasoline. They have to switch to alternatives.

No. The answer is for government to quit using gas as a cash cow to milk. That alone would cut the price at the pump by about $.40/l

From alternative generating sources.

Coal plants are good for the BC economy. We have several hundred years with to burn.

They are the ones that they reviewed 10 years ago and lied about then. 10 years ago they were less expensive and far less damaging.

Today, after BC Hydro and the BC Liberals falsified the inquiry findings and started the Site C without permission and spent over $2 billion dollars on it - the alternative sources remain just as cost effective.

That's how ****ing bad the Site C is.

A $2 billion head start and its still worse.

ROFLMAO.Seriously dude you gotta get some better reading material.

The truth is that the expnsion of this pipeline is being done in order to get oil from the tar sands to foreign refineries.

It will provide oil for 400 tankers per year to enter and leave the Burrard inlet.

So sick and tired of these oil industry cock holsters lying their asses off for whatever their reason might be.

WE don't have any tar sands.

I just watched quite a commentary on C.B.C. news. What coal the U.S. the U.K. and Canada use isn't even a flash in the pan when compared with China's projected use for years to come. Apparently China is making a concerted effort to reduce use, but it's going to take many years before it's enough to be noticeable. With their huge reserves at a cheap price, other sources of energy use are very prohibitive!

In the end, it doesn't matter what Burnaby or the envirotards think or want.

The Feds will decide this without needing their implicit approvals
If that was the case the thing would have been done under Harper.

But if it makes you happy to believe it by all means.
