Actually, Vancouver is right about not needing the pipelines.What we needed for decades in this country is more refineries and political leadership in getting a fair price for our oil. It's lifetime Conservatives, like myself, that turfed the former reform wingnuts and useless muffin man leadership out by voting Liberal. Why,you ask? Because the former government was a disaster in getting anywhere near the world oil price quotes and sold at a huge and unsustainable discount. Strictly business,nothing personal,but the last thing we need is to be subsiding the giving away of our resources at an unfair price, while ALL Canadians pick up the disaster liability cleanup to come. If oil is such a 'great' resource than where is Alberta's huge windfall savings from all those good years. Mind you ,30 years of Provincial con jobs at the  provincial helm, mixed with the lost decade of reform wingnuts and Sheik Stevo's Alberta cartel, was a recipe for economic disaster.
