DonLever Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 From CKNW: http://www.cknw.com/2017/01/11/trans-mountain-pipeline/ Premier Christy Clark has announced the Trans Mountain Pipleine Expansion has met all five of her conditions for approval – giving the project her blessing. The announcement came in a media availability this afternoon, shortly after the province said it had granted the project an environmental certificate. Clark says approval of the project was always a federal decision, with the province’s role to ensure B.C. is protected and gets the best deal possible. The big surprise: Clark now says the province will get between $25 and $50-million a year for 20 years from Kinder Morgan, blunting one of the main criticisms of the plan – that B.C. takes all of the risk with no reward. Clark says the project will also createa a jobs bonanza, with an estimated 75,000 person-years of employment, mainly in Metro Vancouver on the terminal side and across the province on the pipeline. She expects BC will also get the lion’s share of national $1.5 billion coastal response the feds announced in November. “For example shoreline cleanup in a community, lots of voluteer groups are active doing that. Municipal governments are actively doing that. They could apply to do some shoreline clean up – not necessarily oil related Clark says the feds have also ensured that the company will add investments and resources as required. As for environmental approval, a statement from the province says the environmental approval is for the B.C. portion of the expansion project, with 37 new conditions attached. In a written statement the ministers responsible, Mary Polak for environment and Rich Coleman natural gas development, say these conditions take into account concerns raised by affected communities and Aboriginal groups.

Moonshinefe Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 lol cute, $25-50mil a year. A spill will cost hundreds if not thousands of times that to "clean up" and probably permanently damage the environment. Also 95%+ of the profits will be going to executives and to an American corporation. Sweet, some new token jobs while we ship out our natural resources and enrich the already obscenely wealthy foreigners. Imagine what our gas prices would look like if we actually kept our oil. The BC liberals are just conservatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC is a tool, however nobody in their right mind wants a ndp government. Remember the B.C ndp in the 90's, no thank, not again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would add that whether or not he supports the NDP or is a socialist or a Green believer or a communist or a rhino party follower is 100% irrelevant to his point but you don't want to actually talk about his point so you just deflect and lob nonsense to try and talk about what you want to talk about and/or demean and dismiss his point as though if he were an NDP follower that would somehow diminish or negate his point.

Feel better? It's rather ridiculous when you see certain individuals who praise and voted for JT knock CC for allowing the same thing he did. Pretty hypocritical, no? I said CC is a tool at times but if you don't like her allowing this then you can't defend JT for allowing the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voting for JT does not mean you support or praise 100% of the things he does nor does it have anything to do with his point re: the $ and clean up. CC has nothing to do with JT. Just cause I love apples doesn't mean I hate oranges. Stick to his point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he makes Ontario and Quebec mad as well. I'm all for going back to a Government that doesn't blow money ridiculously and actually creates jobs. Pierre said in 1971 just a modest deficit, that snowballed into a finacial crisis by the mid 90's. The only good thing the drama teacher has done so far has approved this project and the line 3 project also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
