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.
Keystone XL.

Rail is really expensive. The price differential occurs because transport costs are so high.
