Consider the sometimes treacherous, Second Narrows bridge passage and couple that with a massively enhanced volume of supertanker traffic this scheme would entail and then – factoring in the full environmental and economic loss from a spill like that in Vancouver’s Inner Harbour – it’s ridiculous. The risk far outweighs the potential benefits – to British Columbia anyway. The risks borne by Alberta are almost nil yet their benefits are equally certainly guaranteed. We in the middle, British Columbians, are being double-teamed. It’s not right. This is where we’re entitled to expect our national government to intervene, to keep otherwise dominant players, from using us to our risk and their benefit.
