After a career working at senior management levels in some of the largest corporations, I'm flabbergasted that so-called capitalists in the oil industry won't acknowledge that market forces, not ideology, are what drives projects like pipelines. It's been clear for several years that there's no market for Alberta bitumen that would justify the Kinder Morgan Pipeline Expansion. 

Oil prices are low because of a global over supply. The low quality of Alberta's tarsands product is why it trades at a lower price. Access to international markets won't change that. To pretend otherwise is simply dishonest. 

KMX doesn't satisfy any reasonable business case and it doesn't have social licence or Indigenous consent in BC. It will never be built.
