A lawyer representing British Columbia says proposed changes to an environmental law won’t allow the province to refuse to provide a permit to a pipeline operator for no reason.
Canada says in court documents that the proposed amendments to B.C.’s Environmental Management Act must be struck down because they give the province a “veto” over such projects. The energy board has set up a process where Trans Mountain Corp. can argue that a condition is too burdensome and violates the special status of inter-provincial projects, he says.
Trans Mountain Pipelines will finally be a fact ... rightfully so ... in spite of those who dare to challenge this matter. Yes, safety assurances ... FEDERAL GOVERNMENT stringent overview... Stop sitting on the fence !

B.C. Court of Appeal to hold five-day hearing on Trans Mountain pipeline and provincial powersThe B.C. government is asking the court if the province has jurisdiction to regulate the transport of oil through its territory and to restrict bitumen shipments from Alberta. If BC is so convinced they can live without it let them back it up Shut off the flow of oil and all its byproducts These people are morons. Oil and gas is a global market and there is no such thing as Canadian oil and gas being used in Canada instead of evil Muslim oil and gas...unless they want to nationalize it. Ironic to say the least from mostly rightwing nutjobs. Never ending rabbit hole, just build it.
