It's a great place to live. For those on the favoured list of the political establishment anyway. For those who aren't? Well, too bad for you if you don't live in one of the hipper areas of the country.

   

That is always rich coming from you, Herb. British Columbia--or specifically, the Lower Mainland and Victoria--is basically trying to stop the TMX expansion by throwing a prolonged temper tantrum while exporting the dirtiest fossil fuel. It is you who should stop the incessant whining.

   

   

Fuck you you entitled son of a bitches.
Our shoreline, our decision.
And for the 10,000th time, I don't live down there and I'm FOR trans mountain as the ONLY pipeline. But it ain't my decision cuz I don't live there and its sure as fuck not yours. Try any bullshit about new ones or North Coast tankers and I'll be the one to start the GoFundMe Blow'em up page.

   

National shoreline, national government's decision. For the 10000th time why is this so difficult to understand?

   

I swear to Yahweh that arguing with Herb is like arguing with a toddler, and isn't calling Albertans "entitled" a classic case of the pot calling the kettle black. The B.C. government threw a hissy fit in the courts when Alberta threatened to shut off the taps because they felt entitled to OUR resource. Even if they won an injunction, it proves that John Horgan and the B.C. NDP are a bunch of spoiled brats. British Columbia is quickly becoming another problem child of confederation.

   

Kinda could be construed as a terroristic threat. Want me to report this to my friends on the RCMP INSET team now, or later? Further, your blow up the tankers go fund me violates their Terms and Conditions. You should probably give it a read.

Further, it's not your shore line, your name is not written on it...

   

You see how nasty we can be, if provoked slightly?

   

Good day, sir

   

Not just our attack llama. Herbie gets his back up when accused of things he's never written too.

I'm just trying, as always, to head off any hard feelings before they happen. We are all friendly here.

   

I am the attack llama. My back wasn't really up, I just felt a childish post deserved a childish response.

   

is not just for kids

   

Oh it wasn't a threat, it was a guarantee. But if it's against their TOS it would be a most useless guarantee wouldn't it?
Besides at the rate things proceed (and no gov't is going to change that) I will be long gone and all the consulting and planning and hearings and lobster dinners will have driven the costs up to fifty trillion dollars and tankers will need to have sixteen layers of hull.
But I will be here when they finish TMX, China says fuck you, and they end up just sending a couple barges a week 20 miles south to Cherry Point Washington...

   

When we're all gone the Port of Vancouver will still be making bank off of the thermal coal they ship to China. And the cruise ships that have a carbon footprint each of a couple hundred thousand cars will still be dropping off rich tourists in Victoria. Because whatever yadda-yadda-yadda something something something that only makes sense in the minds of Canadians. Only the guys running the gas station next door are to blame!

   

Preach. Sometimes I contemplate whether British Columbians are paying a high enough carbon tax when they likely contribute more CO2 emissions overall. They just offload it to China and the Americans. NIMBYism at its finest.
