Enbridge- Gateway who is proposing to build two pipe lines from Strathcona County to the port of Kitimat, says the project will cost $4 Billion dollars and will employ 75 people permanently when finished. 

Company reps held an open house in Prince George late yesterday, hoping to spread the word and get as much support as possible for their endeavour.

The company proposes to build a 30 inch line which would export 400,000 barrels of oil a day and a further 20 inch line that would export 150,000 of condensate. The pipeline would pass to the north of Prince Goegre near Bear Lake after cutting south of Grande Prairie to reach the BC border. 

The company is hoping to get the green light over Terasen (Kinder Morgan) who are proposing to build a pipe line that would run through Kamloops and then south to Vancouver. 

Enbridge company Director of Operations Cynthia Hansen, says we in Canada are blessed with a surplus of natural resources. Pointing to our gas and oil. 

The company is more than 50% Canadian owned and people of the region are saying it is one of the saving graces on the horizon for Kitimat which has been hit hard in recent years by Alcan cut backs.

Isn't that nice.

You see how Liberal capitalism works. They start off small, by breakng up BC GAS. Sell it to Terasen where only 20% foreign ownership was allowed. Change that so Kinder can buy it and then say a 50% owned Canadian company in regards to pipeline will send our resources south.

Would somebody please wake up and smell the coffee? This kind of Bull###t is the kind of stuff that a governement like Campbell's is great at.

Diversionary tactics, and shell games, while it likes to support big business and inflate our costs by American standards. INcrease their supplies while a free market system will tell how to keep profit maximum.

While we are used to the wage controls that some shudder to think would control society why don't we say hey, "Price controls" might take a turn now, so that all those who have lost ground, can find and keep pace in stead, of making the poor pooerer and the rich, richer.

Here's one more the liberal governement changes the rules on what Alcan has to be repsonsible too, interms of the damming of our rivers so that instead of keeping the smelters going, they can now pofit from hydro production, instead of keeping labour alive and well in our province.

Here's one more.

Co genration plant production was always tied to resource manamagement and labour. So now it supposely beneficial, that woodwaste and othe things that would keep this co-gen going might determine the fate of mills, not i terms o fkeeping machines alive and well, but of the capability to transfer to hydro production.

It is time some house cleaning was done. This is not just rehtoric eithe but a trail that leaves any mind boggled as to how society has fallen asleep and protects liberalism.
