Alberta is already buying most of site c energy.

I thought that was off now due to the 'spat'? we'll need it here for the influx of hybrid and electric cars anyway when gas hits $3 per litre next year

I would expect the move away from coal generating powerstations will put that deal back on the table.unless alberta moves to cogeneration but that would cost more money than just a power agreement.dont remind me about the gas price surge but the cost to change vehicles wont offset your personal gas costs much it will affect consumer goods more and air travel.

You tell me

 

 

You mentioned clear cuts and linked it too raped land.

 

then it was wind power and agriculture.

 

anyways....the original point the way I see it is your claim that land is raped due to logging anyway so what difference does an oil spill make relative to spoiled land.

 

if that is your suggestion,

 

then em I suggest to you that the difference is, and a big difference is, that land then becomes impossible to re-forest.....so not only is the the environment destroyed in that area but so is the industry generated from that land.

Thought that was for metallurgical coal?

 

Well always need that stuff.

We could easily let someone else provide it. No need to destroy the province......amirite?

 

I am totally ok with sacrificing a some mountains for this industry.

Looks like Northern Gateway and Trans Mountain will be needed. Good. Time to start acting like a real country.

 

Enbridge shares fall after judge rejects proposed Line 3 pipeline route through Minnesota

 

 Northern Gateway? you really like punishment. 

 

I guess we could stop the metallurgical coal but then you'd have no steel for a pipeline.

Nope...other countries can provide the coal. BC doesn't need to destroy it's pristine mountains.

are we shipping the tailings through Alberta by any chance? 

The tailings don't go anywhere. But yes, all these things going to and from BC in the air, on rails, and on Alberta highways are scaring me.

You can have yours back.

at some point you and others in AB will stop trying to force Canada to "act like a real country" - i.e., how you want them to - and come to the table as a partner. But maybe its too late, Harper made sure that this whole issue was doomed to fail in all likelihood.  I guess you have a new Trudeau to blame tho, thats gotta help.

Ok....start by sending taxes to Alberta for real estate sales to Chinese gangs, fishing, logging, mining, hydro etc. No? Right...we already have a deal. Transporting goods across borders is part of it. No country operates with the new rules you want. (Taxing products heading to ports) It's simple extortion and will never be accepted. It's a show stopper.

the only ones threatening extortion is Alberta and SK. Do what we want or no gas / higher has prices - thats your people threatening Canadians, not BC.

 

The reference case - which is BCs constitutional right to ask for - is to determine the extent of control, if any, over goods exported across its border. Thats not extortion, thats the law. You just don't like it.
