BC resident that realizes that the easiest way to ship this product is by pipeline over rail.  Believe the opposition to the KM plan is when the product leaves the pipeline and is shipped.  The route goes through Burrard Inlet which is very narrow at the entrance.  It is also the corridor for container ships for the port, cruise ships, pleasure boats and the seabus which has two crossings every 15 minutes.  One tanker is bad but increasing traffic on the route seven fold is a recipe for disaster waiting to happen.  This area is home to some 2.5m people and is the economic engine of the province.  A disaster could potentially wipe out the viability of the area.  Explain to me how this particular pipeline is of extreme importance to ALL Canadians.
Best option would be to ship the product east and refine it for use in Canada over Quebec objections. Other option would be the Northern Gateway but would require battling the natives.  BC is not the villain in this issue.
