It might be worthwhile to go to Osoyoos again.

Billions of barrels of oil are stored in the sands of only one province... Alberta - "Screw you Canada it is on our land.  It's ours, we can do what we want!"

Access to the waters of the Pacific Ocean can only be found on one province's coastline... BC - "Waaah, you are hurting the whole country by doing what you want!"

The government of Alberta really loves playing the victim, don't they?

A bit overly bombastic, but I did appreciate the quote, "and assume the fetal position that Trudeau has retreated to, in wishing away his Kinder Morgan nightmare."

"Liberal's" ha!

Is AB in any way superior to BC beef? 

Besides the fact that It’s raised in Texas Lite?

What's more toxic - bitumen or BC wine?

I haven't tried bitumen yet, but I still wouldn't want to wager on that.

BC will have to spend tax monies to clean up the inevitable spills. Profits will go to non-Canadians.

Jobs.

I keep hearing this....remind me how many spills the current pipeline has had and what we had to pay for the clean up.

(and dont include the excavator hitting the line a few years back...not the pipe's  fault)

so was there a spill or not ? Does human error not count as a  "inevitable spill "

I can't say I have done a proper survey, but I have eaten some pretty incredible Alberta steaks.

Other provinces are taking sides.  No maple syrup for Alberta now?
