yes - pipelines are Federal jurisdiction. But on a more pragmatic reasoning, does Clark's position not open the door to Alberta and the other provinces to demand a share of revenues from BC's lumber and off-shore imports before those are let thru the other provinces? Given the number of existing pipelines that are currently in BC, it is obvious that Clark is playing politics altho the latest poll numbers prove it is not working to her adavantage. Lastly, if anyone should ensure the irsk is covered, should it not be the energy companies?
