Enbridge Northern Exit-way II
.
How does this make any sense #2?
National Energy Board hearings into the proposed Enbridge Northern Gate/Exit-way Pipeline continue today in Smithers, BC.
One has to wonder if President of this proposed Enbridge project — John Carruthers — is carrying on today in Smithers, like he did in Kitimat about the incredibly elaborate statistical calculations done by Enbridge around tanker accidents. He was touting a number on the radio the other day of odds of: 1 in 15,000 years.
Wonder what the odds were of this?:

how would this look in Douglas Channel? if that was one of the 220 oil super-tankers per year proposed for transporting raw oil bitumen (and jobs) to China
.
Or the good ‘ol Queen of the North sinking not far from where oil super tankers would run…

No matter how elaborate the “guarantees” get from Enbridge and proponents; there is no way to calculate human error accurately.
Is it really worth it? Exporting all those jobs to Asia, exporting energy resources that we may very well need ourselves? (as we already import 55% of what we use in Canada)
It makes no sense, and hence why the opposition grows — including major trade unions, municipalities, and so on… (all those “radicals” as Mr. Harper and his buddies like to call them)…
Human errors is a heck-uv-a-thing…
