This discussion is complicated by the fact there are TWO proposed pipelines. The Keystone would run North South and is the one Obama has put the brakes on for now.
The Northern Gateway project is the subject of this thread and is the one that will run right across BC and involve supertankers loading in Kitimat.
The product loaded there is definitely headed for China. There is no way they would send supertankers all the way round Cape Horn to the Gulf (can't get ships that size through the Panama canal!).
As this is a SportfishingBC forum, it is the Northern Gateway project we should be focusing on and must work together to stop. I heard on the news today the Prince Rupert town council voted to ban oil tankers from the BC coast, the third BC town to do so. The opposition is mounting in BC against Northern gateway and that is great! Getting into p***ing contests with U.S. folks about the tar sands themselves and who uses/produces the most dirty oil or other forms of pollution ain't what this is about.
Let's just ensure the damn Northern Gateway pipeline is never built across B.C.!! (Otherwise "Something Wicked This Way Comes")
