A summit was held in Ottawa this weekend as a last-ditch effort to save the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion from Edmonton to the BC (British Columbia) coast, that the province of BC continues to block.
BC’s Premier John Horgan left the meeting with Alberta Premier Notley and PM Trudeau still refusing to allow the pipeline expansion, refusing to respect the Canadian Constitution and refusing to acknowledge BC’s responsibilities in Confederation.
And Horgan also left without any consequences from the Prime Minister.
BC will still receive their federal transfers and infrastructure grants despite acting in such an un-Canadian way toward their neighbors.
Today, I’ll show you three ways the BC government is a raging hypocrite.
After you see my video, I think you’ll agree that BC can stop telling us that they are concerned about protecting the water.
Or, here’s a better idea: Trudeau can stop buying that stupid excuse to block Canadian oil and gas.

Albertans better read the fine print before signing off on the Federal Government take over of a pipeline . Let’s face it Trudeau is a tree hugger who is only publically now supporting the TM pipeline expansion for political capital and to make sure he sinks carbon tax fangs into the Canadian public .
The City of Burnaby , the City of Vancouver , and the NDP / Green
ransom party have all spent tax payer resources stonewalling and obstructing efforts to get a federally approved pipeline built despite the fact the majority of people in the Province support the pipeline project expansion. Thereby exposing BC tax payers to $billions of dollars in damages from a pipeline that has consulted to death
and has won 14 of 14 court cases .
The cosy little fire side chat with the three socialist parties last Sunday was a joke . Why would any of them not be cheering on the path this is headed ? Government ownership and Kinder Morgan /Trans Mountain share holders laughing all the way to the bank . No no how foolish you say .
The project costs have potentially doubled (or more ) meaning the shippers who actually pay the rate base cost of service are well past the exit price of $ 6.7 billion already and what else has changed ?
Lower USA taxes and a massive opportunity to employ capital in the USA energy industry without having to deal with dip shit Municipalities and socialist political parties . So for those shippers and shareholders it’s now “show me the money ” . Everyone assumes
Kinder Morgan seriously intended to build the pipeline . What if they didn’t ? What if they just wanted to get it approved and then
flog an approved project , flip it ? One problem, the costs just kept
skyrocketing and the deal with shippers was essentially a fixed price 20 contract with the pipeline wearing the risk of cost overruns . Gulp . How could you flog a deal that no purchaser in their right minds would take but stupid politically motivated government
would .
Maybe just maybe the governments (tax payers ) are buying a pig in a poke . Maybe just maybe the stupid idiots running Burnaby , the City of Vancouver and the Brown /Green party in BC are just plan B . … To be rightfully sued for $Billions when this thing collapses .
Trans Mountain is a relatively small company to take on such massive risk and why would they ?
If the governments buy this titanic the only people getting screwed will be tax payers and the people along the pipeline hoping to get a great big bag of cash for doing virtually nothing .
The biggist lies from the Greens that the Earth is Fragile and the Delicate Balance of Nature or uncounted undiscovered species are disappearing or the Rain Forests were being wiped out or their the Lungs of the Earth(Only if your into that Gaia poppycock)They banned DDT because of the lies of Rachael Carson in her book SILENT SPRING and all the greens are doing is suing and lining their pockets now who are the real Greedy Ones? its too much ideology based upon their idiotic ideas and from watching putrid movies like Avatar,Ferngully,a Inconvent Truth,a Inconvent Sequel,The 11th Hour,Before the Flood,Captain Planet,Network Earth,National Geographic Explorer or some mindless Earth Day Special
Good video .
The BC NDP is owned by the Green Party having signed a cooperation agreement to use the 3 elected Green Party votes as blackmail leverage to ensure the NDP opposes the pipeline .
Simple , support the pipeline NDP and your ass is grass .
The NDP can continue to play the obstructionists game because they know the federal government have the trump card in any event .
The left wing globalists of the federal Liberal Party also know the province of Alberta will be a Liberal waste land if they slow walk
their backdoor resistance any further and of coarse there is the little matter of getting their ass sued off in a damages claim from Kinder Morgan to the tune of hmm lets say a conservation $100 billion .
The Alberta NDP is facing a rejuvenated ,unified Conservative Party that may just run them right out of the Province no matter what song they sing at the moment .
Now lets see Kinder Morgan , not known for being stupid , extending from their former Enron days smarty pants boys legacy are in a pickle . TransMountain with a rate base of only about
$1 billion has already spent close to $1 billion on this failed attempt
so far and the potential of another $8-$9 billion (maybe more )
in finishing this Canadian regulatory / political odyssey .
If you are a shipper that can employ your capital in the USA
you better be dam sure this is the right choice . Place your bets .
Enter the Federal Liberals , who think budgets balance themselves and what you have is Canadian tax payers about to get absolutely shit kicked . (Gender neutral of course ) .
Without having downloaded the video, I’m going to ask what makes the Pacific Coast the left coast? From Los Angeles to Vancouver they see things their own way. What is it with them that capitalism makes them nauseous? Could it be that gold rushes and dreams of silver screen stardom left thousands of disillusioned failures stuck west of the continental divide?
