If BC doesn't want it, the East does.

Didn't you just know the Iving oligarchy had to dip their beak in the trough before oil flowed east from AB/Sask? Gotta feed them oligarchs, that's what crony capitalism is all about.

Bring on the advance of open source capitalism and smite down these dinosaurs of corrupted capitalism.

Sorry - typo - I refer to the "Irving" oil (distribution) dynasty of course -

New Brunswick has just elected a government whose base will invent anti-development rationalizations out of whole cloth vis the opposition to gas development and fraccing. I wouldn't hold my breath on this.

The western pipeline is going to happen. The BC govt will agree to it with the quid pro quo being that Alberta agrees to buy power from a new hydro project in northern BC.

You heard it here first.

Unfortunately those in pay of the Saudis don't want it

Patience, Grasshopper.

Money talks. Bullchit walks.

When the acne scarred greentards, the gay hipsters, and the Marxist intellectual poseurs start paying $12.00 for a gallon of gasoline - that pipeline will go through. By then, it will do so WITHOUT having to bribe first nation freeloaders, dirt farmers, and other assorted flakes.

Can anyone tell SDA readers who owns the OIL REFINERY in COME-BY-CHANCE IN NEWFOUNDLAND?

Is it IRVING owned?

Lance, buddy - this story is in the National Post today. Not all Cdn media are asleep at the wheel.

Hey Joe,

Don't Canadians pay world price?

A $20 Billion energy tax on Canadians and transferred to oil companies?

BC will find a way to get the pipelines built through this Province.We have to,there's no alternative. Half the tradesmen in BC are working in Alberta and Saskbush,and many of them may not return unless there's equally good jobs to be had here.

Desperation will set in, about two years from now when the BC Liberals have to face an upcoming election, the government will bribe the Indians well enough to make it happen. The greens will be left spinning in the wind.

Just think about it....how much of an insult did Obama have to deliver to get our quarrelsome regional elite to actually agree on something. That takes some doing. And who said he never acheived anything.

Honestly, I like the idea of all of the jobs and the money for the development staying here as opposed to being subject to US issues.

Also like the idea of getting East Coast into the game, maybe they'll stop drifting off into scoialist world...maybe.

St John is a better deep water port. But only if it makes sense and is funded privately, as soon as somone needs government guarantees or subsidies then forget it.

But love the fact that the Indians were already sold. Love the idea of a Canadian solution whether it is Energy East or Northern Gateway.

The good thing is the terrain to the east is more stable and easier to work in than the west. HDD has matured a lot solving a lot of the risk at water courses. Endbridge is likely dead in the water for a decade and pursuing other options is a good idea.

Isn't this the old "reverse line 9" proposal?

Keystone might get built but not any time soon. Northern Gateway is dead, not gonna happen. Environuts and Aboriginals will make sure of that. In fact, it's a safe bet that they could stop any pipeline in Canada.

John I have been blockaded by the same band who is sending their people through to work for the proponent they are blockading. Just because they are working on does not mean they won't turn around and try to stop it. The FN out here have a lot of pull and can basically bring a liner project to it's knees. Pushing Endbridge right now just harms the chances of getting the LNG done.

....New Brunswick has just elected a government whose base will invent anti-development rationalizations out of whole cloth vis the opposition to gas development and fraccing....

Hmm seems to me equalization should end for this place ...no.?
Send it East or send it North...but send it we will. End of story.
And the Eco Zombies can go cry in George Soros face....

This all boils down to who natural resources belong to. They should be treated as belonging to the people (in the singular sense) who live "above" or "below" them and when selling/leasing them should take into account, when pricing, not only current volatile prices but their strategic value to possible future generations too. Immediately all sell-outs would slow down mightily.
