Victoria Pipeline Demonsration

As for the Victoria Demonstration--it was a start...

There are millions of miles of pipe lines and more millions will be built—transporting all types of commodities—Yes, diluted bitumen(Dilbit)can be nasty—ala the Kalamazoo fiasco—no we don’t want that stuff on our coast,whether by a Kinder Morgan shipping incident in Burrard Inlet—or a severely damaged oil tanker in Douglas Channel—will our concerns be reduced if the pipeline terminates in an open harbour location near Prince Rupert (not Kitimat)—

Or,could we be appeased if we see Enbridge making a quick ‘owning up’ and including a specific,believable ,published commitment to “DO IT Right”

It’s little to ask—Enbridge wants to operate and PROFIT in B.C.—so,please listen !

What then is this demonstration ‘all about’? Probably it’s as much a concern about who’s building the line and who will operate it?—

The inability of the Enbridge to change such an obvious ‘mistake’ as locating the shipping terminal in Kitimat and then fudging their online graphic which showed a Douglas Channel with ,surprise,NO ISLANDS(that’s NOT OUR Douglas Channel!)—

Trying to bribe us, in the 11th hour, with sudden $500,000,000.00 safety ‘top up’ after the NTSB Kalamazoo report fallout—

 Enbridge’s apparent inability to show any obvious attempt at changing their culture is disappointing..

Not much room to maneuver or time left—I’d guess the loyal Enbridge political friends are getting nervous—the citizens are suspicious –let’s see their PLAN .

Enbridge,convince us,please.
