Enbridge and Kinder Morgan need to listen



LNG projects ok ..
But, of immediate concern are ‘our’ wannabe OIL pipe liners –they need a ‘talking to’. The BC public’ requirements are ‘conveniently’ ignored by them... . Enbridge leaders have done nothing to convince me that they have CHANGED their OPERATIONS CULTURE to something we can accept —
Typically, pipelines don’t fail—PEOPLE FAIL PIPELINES-- a la Kalamazoo,Michigan and that infamous 40+ year ‘old’ pipeline.
Further,the BC public want the bitumen laden oil tankers OUT of Douglas Channel.
Let the Enbridge Board TELL us how they will change their organization and mandate if they want to operate in our province,today and 50 years hence,( pipelines DON’T IMPROVE with age)!What we want is for the folks sitting in those fancy leather covered chairs, around the big the mahogany table, to ‘COME OUT’ and face the public in open forums and CONVINCE US that they will change and tell HOW they propose to do that. Will we believe them—that’s up to them! Boards claim to be the stewards of their corporations—OK, show us your stewardship.
That ‘OTHER’ wannabe oil pipe liner has this insane idea that we should allow MORE and BIGGER bitumen laden super size oil tankers to wiggle their way through Burrard Inlet—go figure ??
Surely Premier Clark, you’re going to TELL Kinder Morgan to forget that crazy scheme.I’d guess that the Burrard Inlet Community residents (BICres) will support anyone that can talk some common sense into these ‘deaf’ oil pipe liners...
So Premier, call your colleagues(Premier Alison Redford and Prime Minister Stephen Harper) soon, and work out a plan to get these revenue generating oil pipelines built—BUT with fair consideration for the BC public !
OK?
