@cwx8 I live in BC as well. ‘America’ describes the US, or the continents called the Americas. Indigenous or Aboriginals are used more here, but I don’t use them, partially because I feel like it’s more accurate (Indigenous or Aboriginals can be confused with other groups, like Indigenous Australians.) I don’t see how this term matters that much, they describe the same thing. Maybe political correctness, but eh.

There is only 1 major project not canned by the companies themselves (mostly for lack of demand at the time) not being built in BC- Northern Gateway, which was the most ecologically risky, and the inlet it was trying to send crude through is a magnet for ship disasters due to being windy and narrow. Woodfibre and Delta LNG have gone through, as well as TransMountain. I can see them speeding up the expansion plans in the Vancouver oil and gas ports.

@cwx8 I’m not talking about the Kitimat pipelines. BC has been very much against pumping fossil fuels to Kitimat for environmental and Native American reasons, preferring ports on the Lower Mainland. The Lower Mainland ports and pipelines (eg. Woodfibre) are still very much going forwards comparatively smoothly.

@cwx8 Should I call the, “Indians?” BC is weird in NA. It’s the only place other than Latin America where the Natives are the ethnic majority in much of the rural countryside. In terms of total population, Whites and Asians dominate, but most of them live in the cities or smaller towns. Also, no treaty like the numbered treaties were ever signed. Hence, building a pipeline in undeveloped BC is…problematic. Kitimat is also at the end of a long, winding inlet that is a magnet for ship crashes. This is why Prince Rupert became the primary port in the area, despite being further away- it’s safer (in theory, though many ships still use the inlets (eg. Gardner Canal) to get to Prince Rupert from the South, like passenger ships, mostly because this protects them from the waves. Oil and Gas tankers would go straight out to sea though, so this is a moot point.) Many pipeline companies have decided to build to Kitimat because it’s the shortest (ie. cheapest) route to the sea from the oil and gas fields in Northern BC and Alberta (also, land is cheaper than in the Lower Mainland, lowering construction costs.) It has been proven that’s probably a stupid-ass plan with CGL, even if they get government support (the Natives are actively destroying construction.) The Fortis BC Delta LNG port expansion will process comparable additional amounts of LNG to CGL, and has gone comparatively smoothly.
