Mackcanuck Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 (edited) B.C.’s top court has shot down the province’s hopes of restricting the transportation of diluted bitumen within its borders. The decision marks the latest twist in the ongoing Trans Mountain pipeline expansion dispute, and could have severely impacted the proposed pipeline expansion if it had succeeded. Jennifer Palma✔@JenPalmaGlobal It’s a no to BC on the proposed EMA amendments that would affect the Trans Mountain Pipeline. @GlobalBC B.C. may still appeal the result to the Supreme Court of Canada. https://globalnews.ca/news/5311260/bc-court-of-appeal-trans-mountain-ruling/ Edited May 24, 2019 by Mackcanuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BC taxpayers are already on the hook for way too much at this point. This is the NDP building more useless ferries.

It's always best, when government, to do what's best for yourself over what's best for the voters. How could I have missed that? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KelownaCanucksFan Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 The Supreme Court will not hear it because it was unanimous, it was a giant waste of money. I don’t get this province sometimes, we complain about gas/energy costs then fight everything that could possibly help make the province money. This pipeline is not going to solve the real problem though, we need refineries in B.C. & Alberta to sell domestically and the international market. But there are to many special interest groups from the USA & opec nations that are trying to block us from doing that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can’t, they will not hear it because it was an unanimous decision, it’s very rare that the SCOC will even hear the case under those circumstances 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a government that pushes the Green agenda, but takes tolls off bridges and increases the cost to use transit. How do these two philosophies equate? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no point, the laws crystal clear and it would just waste the courts time. Time to move on, at least on this tack. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually don't care because if they can't even get the basics of "to, two or too" correct, they should start there then graduate TWO? TOO? the bigger stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
