DonLever Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) From CKNW: The Federal Government has approved the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project for a second time. Nine months ago, the Federal Court of Appeal put the government's first approval on hold saying more consultion with First Nations was needed, along with a better plan to deal with the marine impact of the pipeline on the B.C. coast. Trudeau says construction will restart this construction season, but there is no specific date yet. Edited July 2, 2020 by DonLever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bishopshodan Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 JWR coming out against it. I imagine she will be against everything JT. I'm not a big fan of hers, but she is citing economic viability... This is something I hadn't heard much from the detractors but now I am hearing it more and more. Is this thing gonna make the mad dough that we've been lead to believe? or is there doubt?

You know what the first thing out the window is when people don't have jobs or food? The environment. Nobody gives a damn about the precious environment when they can hardly feed their family. This pipeline will actually be a net benefit to the environment. Edited June 18, 2019 by Boeserker 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Former environment minister David Anderson sent letters to ,iirc, 6 members of the liberal cabinet saying words like "Just where is the actual business case for this pipeline" Seems all the talk about new customers is just talk and nothing concrete. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transmountain pipeline = lower cost of gas prices.. Gas prices have dropped from a $1.60 high this year to a current $1.45 (and I have seen $1.27 recently). And no Transmountain pipeline has been built. Also, isn't the pipeline to transport crude Bitumen?? How does that equal lower gas prices?? Anyways...the pipeline will be approved. It was always going to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn't boggle the mind that the Drama Teacher come PM Trudeau is scrambling for votes and that he doesn't care if the talk going from the left side of his mouth contradicts what comes out of his ass. They are replacing 66 year old pipeline with modern technology and oversight = benefit to the environment More jobs and a better economy also helps the environment in a lot of ways which go unmeasured. One of which is that people have a more secure and consistent standard of living which allows them the time to Morally Grandstand and profess what stewards of the environment they are while pointing fingers at everyone around them with one hand while holding a disposable Starbucks cup in the other.

Alflives Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Just build the friggin' pipeline already. And build more of them too. And get more bridges, and widen roads. And get rid of bicycle lanes. We need gas and diesel for our cars and trucks! Not that I care. My scooter is electric. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should build TMX, but we shouldn't go pipeline crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it could, but wouldn't the raw oil be piped to tankers on the coast, that take it to refineries, so (whomever) they buyers can refine it into what they need?

The existing pipeline will carry refined products, synthetic crude oils, and light crude oils with the capability for heavy crude oils The new pipeline will carry heavier oils with the capability for transporting light crude oils. So again... how does a new pipeline reduce gas prices? Edited June 18, 2019 by BPA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
