You naysayers want to just flush the money, OUR MONEY, that Justin spent buying the pipeline down the toilet?
This isn't a project with a lifespan of a few years. The original line is coming up on 70 years of service. Yes, the cost today is high but over the next 70 years it will more than pay for itself and contribute to Canada's energy self-sufficiency.
Without the existing pipeline lower mainland BC has ZERO petroleum products. The locally refined products are produced with crude from TMX. The products refined here and shipped are shipped by TMX! The American refinery in Point Roberts, Wa is fed from the TMX line.
Once you've successfully killed the only pipeline from the oil source to the consumption point what is going to provide fuel for the millions who live in Vancouver and area?
Start doing your homework and understand the ramifications of your ill-informed stand on the pipeline, politicians. DO your job. The Average Guy is better informed than you!
