The first step would be to stop shipments through the existing Kinder Morgan pipeline to the B.C. Interior and Lower Mainland.

Almost 90 per cent of the fuel for Vancouver and the southern coast comes out of that pipeline, either as gasoline or crude to be refined.

Kinder Morgan is also a major supplier of gasoline to Kamloops and the wider interior. In a separate operation, the company pipes jet fuel to Vancouver Airport.

That action would head to provincial courts and eventually the Supreme Court of Canada. I think Alberta would lose the challenges in lower courts and the Supreme Court. Newfoundland-Labrador tried to divert water from Churchill Falls and lost in court.
