0% environmental damage spin that you guys lap up so readily

Nice strawman. Can you point out where anybody has said there is zero environmental damage?

[OnerePeepsy]

Hopefully Obama only intends to stall the XL pipelines until the next election.

I'm unsure of the political benefit you think he got from killing the project to begin with. I'm pretty sure you can stick a fork in Keystone.

What do you think constitutes a larger part of the Democratic base? Enviromentalists or Unions?

[AlekseyZubkov]

All unions or the unions affected by building a pipeline?

[Endatrybeeddy]

Obama didn't want to lose San Fransisco and Greenwich Village.

[littlePen]

Cristy Clark can either accept oil shipped through more dangerous means or bite down on our pipeline, and enjoy it. She's just waiting out until the election comes. She knows her goose is cooked.

[Unamannuato]

No, BC has decided to try to milk more money out of Alberta.

6 of one, half dozen of the other. The money allocated is not sufficient in their view.

Alberta lets uranium travel by rail without asking other provinces for tolls... Hero cookie for AB. You also **** your environment without concern. Decisions were made.

[HornyMolly]

Why don't you want to talk about the bigger issue Asher?

Is it easier to trash BC than it is to trash the natives?

[KitRittyTug]

So the natives can extort AB for more cash and you are willing to play that game?

**** BC!?

[Phighicle]

Iirc, BC hasn't said where the cash should come from only that the current arrangement is unacceptable.

Again, Upper Churchill for your precedent either way...

Nfld hydro-power (energy) goes through Quebec to reach market, for which Quebec receives the massive share of profit for the next 65 years.

AB oil (energy) goes through BC to reach market, for which BC receives X% of profit for the next X years.

Clear?

You left out the part where the Quebec government was directly involved in the construction of the hydro-power facility...

BC has **** all to do with the oil sands.

And this doesn't seem to have anything to do with legislation? Quebec and NFLD agreed to a contract.
Alberta & BC never did.

The $$ is for transit/access rights (with even less potential damage than an oil pipeline).

[FetMiddle]

So how does it happen?

Does Steve compel BC (and the natives) to accept the pipeline?

Either that or the courts. More realistically, we go around and BC is out $7B and thousands of jobs.

I'd imagine there could be some surprise tariffs appear for BC products...

They have a lot of gas in Northern BC that I imagine they will want to pipe through Alberta to market...
