All the heavy crude is shipped by tanker. The only pipeline supplying existing Washington refineries direct is the original Transmountain and the Americans use less than 70% of its capacity. Any other crude to west coast refineries has to go by tanker because the original TM is the only pipeline from BC to the US. A spill in Georgia straight would be accessible year round, one up north would be very difficult to get at. The BC government is supporting dredging Burrard inlet so existing tankers can carry bigger loads, currently they are restricted by the inlet's depth. More tankers pass through the English Channel, Straight of Mallaca or Straight of Hormuz in a week than pass through Georgia Straight in a year. We'll see what happens with any northern proposal, if there is one. It will be a lot more acceptable if it terminates at open water than the stupid Northern Gateway which had it tankering down 50 miles of winding fjord to reach the open ocean. BC accepts 90% of the environmental risk from these lines so it should damn well have a say in how they are built. Hecate Strait is shallow and subject to high winds and waves. It is regarded as the most dangerous water on the west coast.

All of the capacity from the new expansion is heavy crude exported by tanker. The refineries in Washington are not equipped to process heavy crude and are supplied by the original line carrying light crude. There is a station in Sumas where the original line splits, over half going to Puget Sound refineries and the rest to the Burnaby refinery and storage and shipping. It is the only pipeline that carries light and heavy crude and refined product to Burnaby depending on demand. https://www.transmountain.com/product https://www.transmountain.com/product-destination What is the matter with using the original right of way instead of pounding one through to the north coast where there is the highest environmental risk? Yes it would mean more tankers out of Vancouver but it would be a lot easier to handle a spill in Georgia straight than nowhere North Coast British Columbia which is more isolated and has worse weather.

The oil that goes to Washington refineries is light crude from the original TransMountain and only uses half its capacity, the rest goes to Burnaby. All of the TMX oil is exported by tanker. BC has expressed no objection to a third pipeline using the existing TransMountain right of way. BC has one refinery in Burnaby that produces over 40% of the provinces requirements. The rest comes from Washington or Alberta refineries.

BC has made no objection to increasing capacity along the existing TransMountain right of way. Three pipes instead of the existing two. There is nothing that requires TMX capacity to go to the US. That was the whole idea behind building the thing. Why are we selling more to the US if we could get more money for it in Asia?

Desperately throwing crap against the wall to distract from Epstein.

Stable genius math.

Still to stupid to make a connection between birth control and population growth.

Yet you whine about being overrun by people from the 3rd world.

Quebec gets 13 billion annually in equalization. Per capita it gets $1500 more in federal spending than it sends to Ottawa in revenues. https://lop.parl.ca/sites/PublicWebsite/default/en_CA/ResearchPublications/201701E

Air Canada uses both Boeing and Airbus. So does Delta. And Americans can't fly Air Canada within the US because the US does not allow it. Your whining is getting tiresome.

They can fly you from YYZ to YUL but do you think they will give a rats ass if you can't fly between anywhere else in Quebec. They will cherry pick the most lucrative routes and leave the rest. Why can't WestJet and Air Canada do the same between US cities? They can't because it isn't allowed. You would sell your country for cheaper flights and cheap shitty cheese.

You want to hand him Canada.

Ya, the price would drop in half until all the farmers went out of business and then it would quadruple for lack of supply. Cows aren't machines that you can turn on and off like a production line. First they have to be born and grow old enough to get pregnant and have a calf and then you can't shut them off until they have finished producing milk. Then you still have the expense of keeping them even if they aren't producing, or selling them for beef. Then when demand ramps up again there are no cows to produce the milk because economics have force the farmers to sell them. Damn you city folks are ignorant. https://www.agriculture.com/usda-to-compensate-farmers-for-dumped-milk-7968469

Taxme wants to hand all of Canada's industries to the Americans and become one.

Trump is a far bigger protectionist than any Canadians. What do you think all these tariffs are about? Although, I think we should change the part of the Air Canada Act that requires the company to keep its headquarters in Montreal.

Yes I did. I described your mentality and you validated it with your next post.

Like I said.

I'd be surprised if she gets more than two with time served. This is Canada remember, no one gets close to a maximum sentence, regardless of how egregious the circumstances.

That’s because you are an Ahole. Just like your hero Trump, you would do shitty things just out of spite.

Bullshit' The government never paid for the milk, no one did. Trump cancelling the aid is one thing, destroying what was already paid for just so it can't be used to help people is something else. It's the destruction of goods already paid for that could be used by others to help people, not the cancelling of aid. Man you can be so obtuse it is hilarious.

The money has already been spent, they might as well just have burned the 10 million spent on it. Why not just burn another 10 million and brag about how it could have been spent on aid. At least you admit they are just doing it out of spite, for no other reason than the previous administration bought the stuff.
