BCNDP: Hey Alberta, how about expanding the southern TMX pipeline route to get bitumen to our coast?
UCP: We're considering three different route options on how we'd force our pipe through Northern B.C.!

How about solar, wind, hydro, battery backup.
Canada can be a major player in sustainable energy and energy storage, why do we keep backsliding to fossil fuels and unsustainable energy generation. We have the natural minerals for battery tech, let's develop that industry.
We also have the experience people in modular nuclear reactors, let's push that research and development further.
I can only think that these plans, and sharing the info about them, is intended to drive a wedge between two provinces. The northern pipeline routes are the most obvious no for people in BC.
As long as you build these for redundancy and with the absolute best leak detection and prevention technology we have.
Canada is a beautiful land we don’t need to ruin forever, and oil leaks are forever.
Not good enough.
Because the main problem is that there is one spot on the BC coast able to safely handle supertankers: Point Roberts in Tsawwassen.
Everything else is either too shallow, too narrow, and/or littered with thousands of underwater sandbars and mountains.
The best option would be to take back the following facilities, restore their full refinery operations and make them crown corporations with oversight by Greenpeace and local first nations. The Esso, Petro-Canada, Shell, Chevron and now Parkland(recently sold to a US oil company) lands are reduced to tank farms. Turn them back into full refineries and make the product in Vancouver.
Then sell it internationally and to the US.
