My wife is certain that KM was at fault for that oil spill even though she doesn't know how but since the courts did say they were at fault and fined them $150,000.

If you read the link I posted you would see the courts found all three were at fault - all three parties plead guilty, so they were destined to be found at fault.

Trans Mountain is also voluntarily committing $100,000 to the B.C. Common Ground Alliance to fund DigSafe B.C. workshops.
The companies faced a maximum fine of $1 million each.

I read the entire incident report, plain and simple, if the ground disturbance regulations were observed, the line strike wouldn't have happened.
*Note the 100k commitment to B.C. Common Ground Alliance to fund DigSafe BC Workshops AKA ground disturbance training.*
