Wrong...... BC is asking the courts if they can regulate what comes out of the pipe on this end like dilbit. Notice that BC has not passed any law or made any regulation. They are only asking a question. Alberta is passing a law that regulates what can go into the pipe like gas and diesel.
In the BC court case it will be BC ver Alberta & the Feds in the second case it will be BC & the Feds ver Alberta.
BC will lose because It's the Feds that control what comes out of the pipe and Alberta will lose because it's the Feds that control what goes into the pipe. Theater at it's finest but enough to get the attention of those that like shiny things. Meanwhile dilbit finds a new customer. LOOP.

BC going to the courts is nothing more than a stalling tactic to wear KM out. Alberta passed the law as a stick so that there are consequences for the actions. Over 15 Billion a year is being lost due to that jack &$$.
Restrictions on what type of hydrocarbons can flow through a pipeline is rediculos in every way. The irony Is,,,,, just a loss for words.... He wants to restrict (dictate) what flows through the pipelines & then sues Alberta for responding to do the same.???
With $70/bbl (USA dollars or ~100 Can per barrel) Alberta can more than afford an lawsuit & will play it in court as long as needed.
He has also help fuel a fire between 2 provinces that have a history of tight friendships. It’s all being done due to a vocal Minority.
People can talk about a perfect world we’re we all wake up and only use solar panels... That’s great & hope we get there. But in the mean time we are talking about Thousands or Family’s. Nothing will destroy a family like loss of Incomes. No one should ever wish that on a fellow Canadian.
When I was in Victoria I amazed at how great everyone I met was. Before leaving I was actually very nervous due to the current climate. When I met people and they asked where home was,,, & I responded with Calgary the only comment was how can I handle the cold. I never had one issiue with anyone. This makes me think the majority of radicals are not your everyday people.
Lastly, buying fuel from USA is just terrible. We should be supporting our fellow Canadians when ever we can. I drove to Victoria to buy a boat. I bought Bauer prawn traps, Scotty downriggers. I never buy tackle from the big box stores. Always Harbour Chandler, or Berry’s etc. It’s not always the cheapest, but it’s the Bet way.
