Lulz at all the anti Harper tree huggers who thought he was actually gonna change anything.
At least Harper didn't sound like he was in the pockets of big corp.
Now let's go buy some 30 year old jets and give money to some ducking African country!

With Harper, Northern Gateway would have been approved. I have no doubt.
Kinder Morgan makes more sense, since it doesn't go through extremely sensitive habitat. I believe that the line is a twinning of existing infrastructure. The only impact I see that project having is the increased tanker traffic in Vancouver.

imagine going to war with 1983 jimmy ... most of us wouldn't even trust it to go get groceries ... anyways ...
I think trudeau made a good compromise with this announcement. This is probably his first bit of real policy he's had to do since becoming pm, and I approve.
If he didn't allow anything, what's happening in the US would be coming to Canada -- the rural/urban divide is already huge ... that would've just made it bigger.
As long as everyone is mad, it's a good decision :P

Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain Pipeline 
Line 3, seems like nobody really cares, there is already an existing pipeline there. 
Northern Gateway REJECTED 
Liberals won't lose any political votes on this decision ... because Conservatives would have approved all three proposed pipelines. Well ... maybe Liberals will lose some to NDP but it's not like they will form gov't.

Its such a wannabe tough guy act.
Personally, I can see people switching their opinions of Trudeau considering he ran on a campaign of electoral reform, and no pipelines or increased tanker traffic.
I'm fairly "for" certain pipelines as they actually increase the safety of transport, but they need to come with very strong consequences for spills. Ones that I'm sure won't be put in place. I hope I'm proven wrong if such a thing ever happens.
Very happy to see the northern gateway denied. I think these were the right decisions, and a compromise that should make most people on each side of the environment/economy happy, however Trudeau went full retard with his campaign promises so people on both sides will go so extreme and be angry either way because everyone invested so much into their Facebook statuses that they can't bear to give any ground to what is actually smart.

Why not build a line from Bruderheim to Edmonton and pay royalties to KM to use existing infrastructure?
edit: not familiar with the contents flowing through KM and NG lines.

My guess of why they aren't using existing infrastructure is because it's already being used.

I agree completely with the decision. I just think most liberal supporters (at least the ones that thought they knew what they were doing when they voted) would have leaned towards clean energy and native lands.
Also he IS buying old jets, and the smallest squadron you can possibly buy lol..

The oil is going to be extracted anyway, so it's far better to increase pipeline capacity than to have that oil shipped by rail or truck.

That's the part that kills me about the "no" campaigns, they neglect to realize the benefit from replacing older lines with newer lines utilizing the newest construction and QC standards.
But no by all means feel free to block these new lines, meanwhile they will keep pushing more product through the old infrastructure which is held together with chewing gum and duct tape. That sounds like a way better idea...
Believe me if Enbridge didn't have to spend 40 billion dollars, they wouldn't want to, the fact that they recognize the need to twin a line and upgrade it, is proof enough that it's probably a safer option than whatever other methods they would come up with if it gets rejected.
I said it before, and someone else mimicked it above, that fucking bitumen is coming out one way or another, truck, rail, or pipeline, you take your pick.
EDIT: while were at it, those natives in Standing rock will eventually extort enough money out of the Bakken people, and then after that you won't hear another peep about "their sacred land" or the "ancient burial sites". These natives have taken you all for a ride, they don't give a fuck about anything except making sure they get their cut off the top. And these stupid protesters rush to their defense as if they are standing behind someone who truly gives a fuck, hah. If you give them enough money, fuck a pipeline, most of them would be happy to let you just free flow a river of oil through their "ancestors land".

Enbridge doesn't care about the approval of Gateway anymore, the company disbanded the entire project team almost a year ago - the main shipper (and fianancier) was suncor and they couldn't find a customer for the oil.

<snip> | I absolutely agree with your entire post, and this part especially. It's gonna move, so people can either try to say "no" and have zero input, or try to negotiate and at least have some input into ensuring things are done to a higher standard. Their choice. Quote: |
Activists have been lining up to oppose the project, with one B.C. First Nation near the project's route warning its construction could threaten the community's very "survival," and it has not ruled out protests and court action.
| I'm sorry but how exactly? The existing pipeline is being twinned, so unless they all live immediately beside the current line I'm not sure how this will really impact them.

Why do we have so many people trying to protest against this pipeline?
I think pipeline is far better than transporting oil by trailer on highway or cargo train.

Unless you live in a fucking yurt and get your news via carrier pigeon what right do you have to protest the pipeline?
Everyone at the stupid protests filming with their iPhones and a backup DSLR wearing fucking arterryx jackets and eating McDonald's
Good think none of those products are petroleum based though

I don't think anyone expected any government to reject the pipelines? That would just be unrealistic! Hell I'm surprised the northern gateway was rejected, that's probably due to low energy prices, or a stepping stone movement, it'll likely get approved under a 'revised' proposal in several years
As for jets, the old ones are still better than that crappy raptor

I think they would have still built it if they were given the choice.
When oil prices rise again, they will not have a hard time finding a customer in Asia, which was the original reason why they wanted to build it.
