It was always going to be a go. Can't landlock the country's greatest resource. Between that and Kinder Morgan's expansion things should be humming for awhile.

Ya, where is OneWilly now? He was on spewing his bull**** about Albertans and how they would never get the oil thru BC. Never did he say anything about the gas lines to Kitimat for the LNG we are building?
Oilpatch is full of bc residents. Flights out of Kelowna are full shuttling the workers. Approving the piplines is not the right thing.

Doesn't the federal government trump the provincial government? Oh wait....aren't the First Nations higher than the federal government? My bad.

it has to be approved by both, I work for a federally regulated gas company but the company still has to have provincial approval before doing anything new, all this means is one hurdle has been jumped, there are many more yet

I'm not really opposed to the Northern Gateway, but I'll be surprised if it ever really happens. Just too much highly vocal opposition. Jumbo was approved too.......20 years ago. Still nothing happening there either. This is a fickle province when it comes to these kinds of things. :confused:

It will happen. If it takes to long for Christie to get on board the east pipeline will be done and bc will loose out. The product will get to market.

The line running through Ontario to Montreal will be ready shortly. The east is easily accessible through existing pipe.

There not digging ditch, and burrying pipe just yet folks. But it, and more are definatly needed.

What I don't understand is how they think running old lines wayyyy beyond capacity is safer then more lines??

Oh thats right... none of the opposing arguments are based on logic...

I just don't understand why the rush to give away a raw resource, why not spend the cash on a refinery to process the crude oil, and export a refined product with process fees collected, generate jobs, and sustain canada's oil needs first....just a thought

Ain't that the truth!!! People just let there emotions get in the way of common sense. Although going east may be the better long term decision for Canada's economy, if its feasable anyways.

You are forgetting the idiotic logic,... Hence we sell to other countries for a lower cost, they refine the crude and ship back diesel/gas at a higher rate, and then when there is a fuel shortage we get screwed even more, isn't that what world trade is all about.

It would make a big difference to more then you could imagine. Airlines are filling flights coming all over canada heading to Alberta on an hourly basis. We can supply refineries in the east but we will still need to get our ( Canada's) product to other markets in order to see future growth and employment for thousands of people.
