Enbridge knew of pipe corrosion prior to Kalamazoo spill

Fitting. Saw Enbridge CEO on the news last night, who when asked if he could guarantee no spills in the future, said, “No, I can’t but when I fly on Air Canada, they don’t give me a guarantee the plane will stay in the air, either”.
Tell me, does anyone think Air Canada would still have a business license if they had a track record like Enbridge? Would Air Canada fly planes that they knew had structural cracks?
To quote Bugs Bunny, “What an ultra-maroon!”

Krusty,

It goes to show the level of arrogance and ignorance this company, Enbridge, has towards this project, they simply stick their snarky noses in the air and say nothing, with the stench of not caring, simple as that…flat-out disgusting…this gateway pipe dream will not be built, let’s see if this will que the “well what are you using to post this comment and how do you get around…better be by horse and carriage” crowd…

Enbridge is arrogant because the fix is in with Harper. Harper is arrogant because he doesn’t understand he will lose BC in the next election.

I wonder where JohnnyBelt is with his rah rah bitumen bullsh*t today?
Five years they knew about the cracks! 17 hours they waited before taking action to stop the leak!

Good corporate citizen, that Enbridge.

With Enbridge’s poor track record, government officials need to back away from allowing Enbridge to build a pipeline that cuts through our natural water systems. The risk is too high to our delicate ecosystems and the benefits to British Colombians is too low!

“I wonder where JohnnyBelt is with his rah rah bitumen bullsh*t today?”

Hey, how about we hold the phone on that one for just a bit. Jo-Belt seems interested in trade, commerce, and jobs, which he appears to believe the pipeline will provide; nothing wrong with that opinion. I think BC is getting set up as a patsy, but I could be wrong. Meanwhile, I suspect that rightly or wrongly, the Feds will will ram this down our throats and if Jo-Belts will stand up up for BC and the north and insist we at least least get paid (like a decent [fill in the blank]) should, well then at least he (she?) is sticking up up for our material wellbeing. Right?

On the news: Number of annual average Enbridge oilspills = 71 (seventy-one)!

71 too many! Is Ottawa aware of that?

Here is an interesting read, yes oil is getting spilled, the rate is declining overall but the reporting has increased.

You may well be sorry Enbridge but BCers are even sorryier for both Enbridge and Harper because there isn’t going to be a pipeline and Harper just better get used to the fact.

At the end of the day Petro China pays to get the project approved and their partners pay for the pipeline… Enbridge is a facilitator stakeholder in corporate entity called Northern Gateway, but carries no liability of their own if things go wrong.

Corporate entity called Northern Gateway is the firewall that insulates its proponents from any liability over and beyond what Northern Gateway has for capital assets.

Get Enbridge to put up their own capital assets from corporate entity Enbridge as insurance against a Northern Gateway spill and Enbridge themselves would drop this project so quick their partners wouldn’t know what happened. After all this project is only a go if Alberta gets huge natural gas subsidies from BC for the oil sands extraction process, and if pipeline financial stakeholders can limit their liability so as to have no risk for investments… risk being transferred and insured by the people of BC.

This is becoming as unbelievable as the fact that Christy Clark is still Primier in this province. Where is the sanity in this loose-loose non oportunity that BC finds itself in?? Where are the men in this province and why don’t we turf that idiot Harper out of BC.

The citizens of BC will never let this pipeline happen.

Don’t you agree?

It sure would be a lot easier to drift a dry fly down the Parsnip River with a 4 inch thick Bitumen slick floating on top of it hey?

Or how about boating up the same river. That slick sure would lube those impellers really well huh?
