Having lived in both BC and Alberta, one can understand the rhetoric from both sides. Alberta needs tidewater access. BC believes their is a threat to waterways. The true test of a relationship is when one partner is down, how they are supported and respected. Canada without a strong Alberta is troubling. and Alberta is in trouble and needs its partners.  For the common sense person, all of our politicians are offside with reality. BC, Alberta, Feds.  For the first nations people, enough is enough....  Your world has changed, get on with what you can get out of it and quit trying to be the bully. . Some of oil companies biggest vendors and suppliers are first nations companies. And for those in BC fighting this, your argument is weak. A pipeline already there for over 40 years, and only one major incident, caused by a contractor in lower mainland, not KM. Oil will go to the coast, by rail or by pipeline, your choice. This is a watershed moment in Canadian history.
