Unless you're writing from Burnaby, or some other location that is adversely affected by decisions made elsewhere, NIMBY is an easy out. The only ones who cry "NIMBY" are ones who have back yards that aren't threatened.
If we'd had a transportation corridor, as TDW suggested, then the Burnaby terminal would not be in a heavily populated area that would be drastically affected by a marine oil spill or a pipeline "event" such as in Kalamazoo, but since the area is now heavily populated, it makes no sense to threaten it.
