I was looking into the future, probably many generations from now, when uranium will make its way, one way or another but probably by rail, through Alberta to the east. Think we are going want to pay them (and Saskatchewan and Manitoba) on an ongoing basis just in case our product spills into a river and fucks it up? Hell no.Mr. Beer N.

Tracks are not maintained, to prevent derailments. There have been many evacuations, because of dangerous commodity chemical spills. Can you imagine, a tanker train, spilling dirty, lethal, chemical laced Bitumen, into rivers, streams and land?<br /><br />As for piping the dirty Bitumen across BC to Port Kitimat, that's brain dead. Enbridge hasn't cleaned up, their last 804 pipeline spills. BC is a province of mudslides with loss of life as we speak. Mudslides carry away homes and highways. There are avalanches, rockslides, earthquakes, forest fires, and swift flooded rivers, that carry away homes and highways too. How does Enbridge get through 15 feet on snow, to get to a pipe burst, in BC's vast wilderness? <br /><br />Gordon Campbell and Harper have done enough dirty dastardly deeds, to BC and the people.<br /><br />Harper, Enbridge, Premier Redford, Christy Clark, and Communist China, can all bugger off. The BC citizens owe them squat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
