$$$I just don't understand being against safe pipes. The oil will be shipped. Either it gets piped out safely, or it gets shipped by more expensive rail which puts the environment and human lives in danger.
This is such a simple matter. I don't understand those on the Left who can't see simple truths.
it is always about $$$. The BC gov't and remaining native bands fighting just want a bigger share of the revenue and will threaten to stall and scuttle the deal until they get it. Every Province wants a Churchill Falls type deal where Quebec would not allow Newfoundland generated electricity from the Falls to pass through Quebec for sale unless Quebec got a deal giving them the lions share of the profits. Newfoundland has been fighting to undue that deal ever since with Quebec laughing while reaping the profits.
BC wants a similar deal where they would get a bigger share of the profits of any oil crossing their province and make no mistake, if that number was high enough this would get through. BC has no aversion to pipelines as others have shown in this thread.
