PG-2 of my KM Post:
 What is not mentioned is that that pipeline was initially built to service local Vancouver oil companies. There were once several refineries here, but they left to WA state to process Alaska oil. Only Chevron remained, but KM wouldn't commit to continue supplying Chevron with oil. So oil by rail for Chevron has been travelling through populated White Rock, Crescent Beach  and New Westminster.   Very risky !!!
 KM should be continuing to commit a supply to Chevron, but KM was just for maximum profit, regardless of the risks to the GVRD.  I'm not surprised Chevron sold their refinery.
 So this pipeline is mainly to profit KM, regardless of it's poor location.
 I would expect this very poor oil route to increase the amount of oil shipped over many years, by increasing it's capacity.

I didn't vote for the NDP or Green parties, but I support their plan to stop the pipeline expansion as a better alternative.  I feel all shipping of oil on those routes should be stopped.
