  1. KS i'm on your side..somewhat ,but using this is a bad example ,and was not km,s fault . 'dial before you dig' was not done . if a car hits a hydro pole ,and the person blames BC hydro how dumb would that be?
  2. i'm not at all offended by 'lock her up' notley that is
  3. top right corner right beside your profile name theres a little downward arrowclick on it scoll down to account settings , in the overview colume click on signature, walla.....
  4. 'lifeblood' there is an inference in the way she use's it that there once was... and we need to get back to that . which is not the case .
  5. as a country we got to where we are without all the ugly tentacles spreading outwards from fort mud.. and were not all going to end up in a food bank line up because this doesn't happen.
  6. that and JT is waiting for the may 31 deadline to come ,and KM to finally pull out, given how much reason for federal intervention that hasn't happened ,to the point of BC having to file a law suit ,well played JT.......
  7. of this 60% support ,a percentage figure that has only recently arrived at that due to people capitulating their stance for nothing more than listening to notheads threats and worrying about the cost to fill their tank, so whats the real solid support figure? 30% maybe 40?
  8. she 's in no position to call anybody else's actions premature. what was she expecting ? these prospective Asian companies are probably .....well i don't know. if i were going to a gas station ,and ma and pa were fighting i'd find another gas station.....
  9. maybe that's WHATS WRONG WITH HORGAN ,HE DOESNT DRINK.......
  10. locally our ppwc literally priced the pulp right out of the market
  11. hey rach come on over just picked up some everclear...
  12. part of the problem with our resource's is the buyer's(Asia) are demanding in raw form. raw logs , unprocessed fish , or they simply don't buy it . you cant have the nice cozy union rate job , and provide a competitive price ,so its one or the other.......
  13. actually the great bear rain forest , kitamat would be the outter limits of it ,but in the kitamat range there is the keremodi (white) black bear. and even then the original pipeline route was north east of both the rain forest and the keremodi. i geuss what I'm tryin to say is the northern route made more sense quicker ,cheaper , less resistance, but that's not to say that all the people that speak to tree's in the lower mainland wouldn't have got their hackles up anyway...
  14. I'm tellin it the way i see it . kinder morgan would be wise to have learned about what its going to take to appease , maybe your average joe in southern bc didn't pay much attention to northern gateway ,but northeners have the benefit of being thru it , ,i think theres some residual mistrust in Vancouver stemming from endbridge. ,thats unfortunate. the plebiscite held in kitamat regarding northern gate way was 60% against , had it been a more reputable company , who knows ? you could say that all along the pipeline route, not that it makes any difference but what if harper never pushed northern gateway , and focused on KM first., or here,s another angle if the safeguards being implemented are that good then why didn't they choose the northern route since it doesn't impact the mass's. add to that your average northerner ISNT a tree hugging cappachino suckin yogurt slurper, , oh and then provincially , within 2 weeks of horgan , petronas ,which everyone up here wanted , he in his pre election promise mode 'said he would do everything in his power to not let LNG happen #%%$$%^&*&E@Q!#$&^&^E#W@
  15. here's my take on northern gateway , kinder morgan. at 58 years old ,at no point can i remember oil and gas expanding at such an accelerated rate, almost as if its a race against alternative energy but its not, its been building up to this point for 50 years maybe longer, but i do get that there is pressure to recoup investment , i remember in the late 70s rivtow marine started an equipment rental company (rivquip) this subsidiary Co. was formed to supply the equipment to this new oil field in northern alta, the oilsands ,the cosalich brothers that owned rivtow were not in aggrement about this rental company , long story short, rivquip lost their a$$. my own recollection of the oil sands is 40 years give or take. i was never opposed to either pipeline ,i wasn't jumping for joy because of it, but i was willing to listen with the hopes of jobs for the north. where i lost my enthusiasm for endbridge was their dishonesty, first it was the tanker route map that conveniently left out gil ,capania pitt, banks islands and estavan group, people up here were like what?heres a bunch of suits out in alberta thinkin that these boneheads wont notice . STRIKE 1, and then there was the pipeline route, the one that endbridge claimed to have avoided environmentally sensitive areas , it was just a fantastical co-incidence that the route was a virtual strait line, once again these suits out in alberta thought these boneheads wont notice. STRIKE 2. STRIKE 3 is a toss up , either the1 incident in 10,000 years , or its 'we have the support of all the aboriginal bands' the beginning of the end of northern gateway was because they didn't consult and /or include, the bands along the route. the one thing i'll give to trudeau,, endbridge just was NOT good enough, KM Isnt half as bad as endbridge , but i do see exagerations and downplays from KM, TO THEIR OWN DETRIMENT,, YOU WANT PUBLIC SUPPORT? ,BE HONEST.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  16. it may well be worst case scenario , but consider endbridge's 1 oil spill every 10,000 years and then kinder morgan comes out with 1 incident every 473 years .now that's down play if there ever was! you would think 2 corporations would get their prediction thingys on the same page as they are speaking to the same audience, people don't forget those kinds of dumba$$ claims . and it was /is counter productive in the process's search for public support in BC, with no mention of notleys goof ball threats. which only compounds the negativity surrounding the whole thing.
  17. rindy ross prior to quarterflash ,which became a little more polished...
