Thanks  for another predictable article by Gary Mason. One thing 'bout Gary, you can mostly figure out in advance just what he's going to say about anything. Status Quo, big business, Christy Clark, Harper. 

"Sorry Vancouver. The rest of Canada needs pipelines." says Gary. Light thinker Gary seems to say that Canada needs whats in the pipelines. Tarsands, natural gas, the results of fracking, bitumen, ie some form of fossil fuels. 

Shucks Gary, seems to me that Canadians don't need these  fossil fuels, as its going to go into tankers for export  The oil companies and their shareholders, and Rachel Notley and the Alberta governmnt need it. But not the rest of us.

The world is  about 30 years away from environmental diseaster Gary..We need to stop producing and exporting more fossil fuels.. Building more pipelines  only increases  production of fossil fuels.  We should be freezing or reducing our use of fossil fuels.

Building more pipelines aint gonna do that Gary. Simple math/logic.
