We were concerned about the many problems because of the sharp drop in elevation.<br /><br />We did what we could to reduce the chances of failure, but I was never satisfied. There were too many things that could go wrong before the oil was delivered to tankers.<br /><br />Risks remain after the tankers are loaded. The entrance from the ocean is quite small for large tankers.<br /><br />Kitimat is lovely, with at least two rivers flowing into it. It would be a pity if we dumped oil there.<br /><br /><br />My preference would be to deliver the oil to ships on the ocean. The pipeline would be longer and more expensive, but safer.<br /><br />Bill Middagh, professional engineer, Edmonton<br /><br />***This from Georgia Straight today December 12, 2013.<br /><br /> (Gerow - an enemy of BC)<br /><br />JeanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-11132950335611199792012-09-07T08:03:35.770-07:002012-09-07T08:03:35.770-07:00http://thetyee.ca/News/2012/09/07/More-Enbridge-Fi...http://thetyee.ca/News/2012/09/07/More-Enbridge-Files/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-8780531902538450482012-08-22T16:30:35.237-07:002012-08-22T16:30:35.237-07:00Went to read Harv O blog - looks like he is a born...Went to read Harv O blog - looks like he is a born again BCLiebral.

Hopefully someone sends Premier Redford a true map. Those massive dirty oil tankers, have to do hairpin turns in that, narrow channel of islands.<br /><br />I believe Grumps has the map posted, on his web site.<br /><br />It just goes to show, how evil and corrupt, Enbridge and Harper really are.

Canadian citizens not so much.<br /><br />Nothing is worth loosing our beautiful land and ocean. <br /><br />we are wrong though about the oil pipeline not creating jobs. With the first land spill there will be jobs cleaning up that spill, flying the workers into this remote area, then there will be jobs to test the water and then there will be jobs to treat the people who cleaned up the oil spill, then there will be jobs for those who ate the meat of the animals around the oil spill who became ill.<br /><br />When the oil spills in the ocean there will be jobs for people to clean up the oil spill. There will be jobs for the people to pick up all the dead sea animals and birds. There will be jobs to relocate all the people who live near the ocean. There will be jobs in health care to treat the people who were made ill by the oil spill. there will be jobs for people to test the ocean for the next 100 yrs to see if Canadians can go back into the ocean. Yes there will be a lot of job, but none that we want. The oil pipeline and tankers should not be allowed. This will devastate the enviornment. The only ones who really benefit are the multi national corporations and their money will go to other countries. <br /><br />If Harper really wants to create jobs, the oil must be refined in Canada. Although the continued work in the tar sands is not good for the enviornment and poisons the water in Alberta.<br /><br /> Of course there will be a lovely job for Harper with the oil companies when he leaves politics.e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-91369364847859918062012-02-05T21:58:44.991-08:002012-02-05T21:58:44.991-08:00Some very simple questions one must ponder through...Some very simple questions one must ponder through this whole affair. In 2011 the oil industry in canada's profits were over 200 billion yet Alberta ran a deficit of 3.4 billion dollars?<br />Even with these profits canadians still subsidized the oil industry to the tune of 2.8 billion all the while attacking pension paynments to the poor?<br />Joe oliver shouts that this pipeline means 3 trillion dollars to somebody yet 174 billion to canadian government over 30 years,<br />We subsidize these people 3 billion over 30 years for a total of 90 billion. Their inflated estimate is 174 billion to canada so we make 84 billion on 3 trillion dollars the rest to the corporates. Considering we have been subsidizing for years we actually loose money.

The top of the cargo was torn off, by the violent storm. They were very afraid, the rest of the load would capsize the ship. The Japanese ship, put out a distress call. They had to wait some hours, for rescue.<br /><br />So, we can count on a massive Chinese dirty oil tanker, to spill it's load into the sea as well.<br /><br />However, to try and get that through Harper's brain dead head, is an exercise in futility.<br /><br />There is no way we can permit the atrocities, of the Enbridge pipeline and the dirty oil tankers, to come into BC.

The BC citizens have had it. <br /><br />Harper has put another of his Reformer henchman, Boessenkool into BC. He lobbies for Enbridge. We had enough of, Harper's evil Reformer Campbell's, lies, deceit, thefts of our BCR and rivers, his corruption, dirty tactics and lying and cheating, to win. <br /><br />We now live in a, Fascist Dictatorship regime. We may only expect the worst from henchman Boessenkool, another fanatic Harper supporter. No doubt the, propaganda media machine will aid and abet him too.<br /><br />I don't like, the LNG in Kitimat either. This sets a precedence for the Enbridge pipeline. No gas pipe leaks, no Enbridge leaks. No gas tanker spills, no dirty oil tanker spills. <br /><br />This is a bad, bad, mistake, by the F.N. There is no way in hell, they can trust Harper, nor the Campbell/Clark BC Liberals.

How much will that amount to. Now I know what the blacks in southern USA felt like.

She also reveiled that in negotiations with synchrude the chinese have a clause that this oil can never be refined here, that's right can't be refined here in canada!<br />Joe oliver refused to answer CBC's Evan Solomon when Solomon posed questions on this on Feb. 2nd.<br />With this clause they have basically sold canadians down the river without a paddle, there will be no benefit from the tar pits for the canadian people now or ever. The tar pits are now controlled by communist china all at the swipe of a pen.<br />Is this worth fighting for even to the death?..you bet!<br />All of this is planned and orchestrated to benefit one entity and one only and that is corporate greed and further corporate control. I defy Stephen Harper or Joe oliver to justify what they are doing in the public good as it simply isn't true. They are selling off our resourses while destroying our future on a grande scale.

Hopefully those video's go global.<br /><br />Harper, the other great dictator, is going to sell what is left of BC, that China doesn't already own, to them...our mills, raw logs, mines, and natural gas. It's only a matter of time, before China completely owns the dirty tar sands as well. <br /><br />This is what Fadden of CSIS warned us about. Campbell was selling BC out to China. He also mentioned Ontario. Well, Harper is certainly selling us out to China. The Port of Prince Rupert, was expanded to take the large Chinese freighters. A BC rail yard was expanded to store, China's cheaply made junk. Harper is in a real panic, to force the Enbridge pipeline through and force the dirty tar tankers, into our BC coastal waters. All of this is for China's encroachment into Canada and, especially into BC. <br /><br />Canada will wear a, made in China label, as well as every thing else in this country is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-58322471895676502192012-02-05T09:18:09.442-08:002012-02-05T09:18:09.442-08:00Terrible Ted says: "Save BC".
