rhetoric and first nations concerns...

Only days after my post illustrating the
inevitability of future spills, Enbridge's "World
Class" oil delivery system dumps at least 1200 barrels
into Wisconson's environs.
The issue of Enbridge building the Northern Gateway
pipeline has been dominating the news in BC as well as
most of Canada and for reasons like that illustrated by
this spill again, and their record of over 800 spills
in just 11 years. They promise world class standards
which they claim to already exceed and with the
pristine wilderness at stake with this, both land and
sea, across the province and out to our pristine
coastline, I can only see class one disaster in store.
BC will reap very little financially as opposed to the
risk. If they think they can maintain a pipeline
through hazardous mountain terrain without it being
damaged by slide or avalanche or subduction tremor etc,
they need to look at how many times the Trans Canada
Highway is closed each year by slides and avalanches.
THE HIGHWAY IS MUCH MORE ACCESSIBLE! MANY AREAS OF THE
PIPELINE WOULD BE HARD TO ACCESS AND IMPOSSIBLE IN BAD
WEATHER WHICH IS MOST OF THE WINTER.
If the highway belched oil each time there was a
closure the rivers it crosses like the mighty Fraser
would be destroyed long ago.
It seems with the BC Gov't botching the chance to
participate in the environmental processes the Feds now
have control and it seems a done deal. We are about to
sell off a 15 BILLION dollar oil deal to the Chinese
who won't buy unless they have a way to get that oil
out, and this deal is the biggest foreign investment in
Canadian history.

And where you CAN'T?

I'd wonder if they would do it if fines were personal.
We'll take your pay if there's a spill just like you'll
take away thousands of BC jobs if there's a spill.
Our Salmon industry, tourism, logging, first nations
communities and Great Bear Rainforest ecopark are all
dependant on there not being a spill or spills.
Incidentally they claim a 1200 year risk cycle for
Subduction quake hazard which has never happened in
history.
2-500 years average and once it took 800 years.
