Your eastern arrogance is showing, which is the very reason that the people of BC reject your position.

Your threats of transporting bitumen by rail are baseless as rail can not fill one single tanker, let alone 400.

Gimme, gimme, gimme?  Where does that come from, we aren't asking for anything at all except to stop the potential loss of 200,000 good coastal jobs in the event of one major spill.  You can keep your softwood deal, we didn't ask for it.

Here's the deal that needs to be made; Alberta will guarantee the permanent wages in perpetuity of any coastal BC worker that loses his livelihood due to a ocean spill of Alberta bitumen.  Pretty easy.  So why won't Alberta guarantee it's product if it so desperately wants access to BC?

Keep pushing, every day BCers are waking up to the fact that remaining Canada is of little benefit.
