The CRA will get it's cut of any investments you give away when they are sold. If you have anything left in your RIFF it will be taxed as income. If your estate is more than 25K it will be subject to probate.

Arrest/Imprison people with face tattoos

No one disputes your right not to get a tattoo. -
Big difference between a gas pipeline and an oil pipeline when it comes to possible environmental damage. Same goes for an oil tanker spill vs a LNG carrier venting NG into the atmosphere. I approved of TMX because it follows an existing right of way that is easily accessible and been in use since the 50's. Any tanker spills are also easily accessed and in waterways that already have a large amount of tanker traffic. Northern Gateway is a completely different animal. Not only is the terrain a lot more challenging, the weather is a lot worse. Right now they are looking at increasing Transmountain capacity by dredging Vancouver harbour and Burrard Inlet to allow larger tankers. BC is taking a shit load of Alberta oil to tidewater and the east coast is taking SFA. The environmental risks of taking a pipeline east are far lower than ramming them through the northern Rockies to be tankered through fjords that rival Norway's. Churchill might be one option if climate change can make it ice free enough. BC gets very little once the lines are completed.

Why are you shitting on BC, we already have pipelines to the coast while the east has done sweet FA. The existing Transmountain can transport 900,000 barrels of Alberta crude a day to the west coast. BC accepts almost all the environmental risk for little reward so at least they should have a goddamn say. Isn't that the excuse the east is using to block pipelines?

A lot of people said this alliance couldn't last. Too much testosterone. Who knew it would be this spectacular. I guess it shouldn't be that surprising considering the characters involved.
