Can we not build a giant pipeline to Montana, and then at the same time load up on rail cars to ship oil to the West Coast? I know Notley said the pipeline will be built by any means necessary, but maybe the approach would be to move the oil by any means necessary. This includes rail, truck, car, boat, whatever. Fill slip tanks with bitumen and send a fleet of F350's out while "rolling coal" through Burnaby for all I care.
Admit defeat and give the protesters what they want.... which is a more hazardous, cost intensive solution to no pipelines. Build a pipeline from Northern Alberta to a hub to (let's say) Medicine Hat, then either rail it to the coast or pump it south.
It's just so ridiculous and frustrating.
