Second cup of Coffee Talk

I wish I lived closer to the border ... my inlaws in south surrey are just crossing the border whenever they need gas ... I guess i could give them some of those garbage bags

It could be another dry summer in BC this year...

So it's safe to say that Alberta is making an...

Horgan is gonna have to bend over and take the pipe if the alternative is $2.00 per litre gas ... Feds will ram it through ... at least they have lube

Yet Horgan doesn't seem to have any issue with mining waste being dumped into Quesnel Lake...

B.C. Quietly Grants Mount Polley Mine Permit to Pipe Mine Waste Directly Into Quesnel Lake

and the NDP did nothing about Victoria pumping raw sewage into the Straight of Juan De Fuca for so many years

If I lived in Niagara I would 100% cross the border for gas. And groceries.

I don’t have any skin in the game here other than I think it’s important to get our goods to market one way or another and a possible pipeline leak sure seems like a nicer alternative to Lac Megantic 2.0.

What I’m not quite understanding is what Trudeau is getting out of any of this. He’s risking a shit ton of votes in BC to placate a few seats (most of which he’ll almost assuredly lose no matter what in 2019) in Alberta, he’s reneging on a campaign promise, he’s going against his own environmental pledges and he’s giving the Federal NDP even more to hammer him with and split the vote on the left. I don’t get it.

I kinda have skin in the game since the pipeline in question does/would run frightenly close to my house. I think a pipeline leak could be as catastrophic as Megantic ... odds of course would be lower but the damage just as overwhelming

I dont know if its the fear of $2.00 gas or the pro-pipeline forces effectively getting their message out there but Im sensing a growing portion of BC residents would accept it ... the list of first nations groups who have signed off on it is long thats for sure

That is unfortunate and I can definitely understand being concerned about that.

There are already pipelines going into & around Burnaby/Surrey/etc; is there not an argument that whatever risk is being created you guys are already living with that risk anyway?

And i think km was trying to utilize this notion of “accepted risk” when they came out with their initial proposal and splashed the word “twinning” everywhere as if they were just increasing the flow capacity in existing lines ... it turns out they are running new lines in parts of burnaby that werent at risk with the existing line

Is there any reason why they couldn't just follow the same path as the existing ones? Different destinations?

I think its right of way but i could be wrong. Runs under too many houses

Sandy Hook Parents Sue Alex Jones for Defamation

Wonder if his defense will be the same as the one in his custody trial, that it's entertainment and he doesn't mean anything he says.

Not any of his "fans" will notice he said it.

Between this and his recent divorce, I hope they take him for every penny he's worth.

I realized today that if you're middle aged or older we've been bred for these Russian election meddling issues for years.

In the 80s we were conditioned in movie after movie to fear the Russians (rocky, top gun, red dawn, etc.).
In the 90s/00s we were conditioned in movie after movie to fear the machines (matrix, i robot, etc.)

The Russian election interference combines our worst fears into one unbeatable Russian bot.... HAL Drago!

Uh huh.

Uh huh.

How long before O'Reilly got canned did he get the "we support him" tweet?

OT: Bullshitting at the Barbershop

Probably should have put this here.

RIP...Mrs Bush.
