Crisis Over Pipeline?



Did Ottawa Answer Premier Clarks Threats?

The above graphics link directly to the stories published in the Globe and Mail and the Vancouver Sun. They highlight Premier Clarks warning to Ottawa about the political power British Columbia holds with respect the Enbridge pipeline.

The other two articles point out how mystified our BC political leaders are with a decision from Ottawa which could pull the rug out from under our thoughts of grandeur by selling LNG.

Blocking pipelines from Alberta seems to be the popular political parade both BC parties are jumping in front of these days. BC seeming to think they can do without the economic benefit from allowing the northern pipeline secure in the hope our financial fortunes going forward can be pinned on the sale of LNG. They seem to think we can do that without support from Ottawa.

Since as a nation we are woefully inadequate at being competitive on the world manufacturing stage, unless we are able to take our natural resources to market we could find ourselves having a problem paying for all those benefits we have come to enjoy.
