1. Maybe the extra weight due to their presence will cause Lotusland to sink out of sight. We can only hope….

2. “If BC was unwilling to give transit to the province of Alberta, it will be even less willing to give transit to a separate nation. So just how do you propose to move your oil out of Alberta?”
   True. But, how willing would Alberta be in granting transit to any goods going from BC to the rest of Canada? BC would be left to doing what they do best – drugs.

It is said that Canada tilts (east to west) and all the nuts and oddballs roll to B.C. where they have the mild winters and folks can live in tents. (And we’ve all heard of B.C. fruits and fairies) We also have the largest contingent of poverty pimps, and free drugs and needles, and higher than average welfare rates. Damned if I know why this is being treated as some new-fangled way of passing the problem along. By the by, what reserve does Curly joe belong to, surely they are being paid for his not being there?

6. Judging by the map, it seems a long winding way to get to the Texas coast refineries than just shipping it straight south down Keystone. Unless they intend to supply heavy crude to US east coast refineries. Not too sure if they even handle the stuff, like they can in Texas.
