Vancouver is a very limited port, period. It is situated in a terrible place geographically for moving goods to and fro the rest of Canada, and really how much MORE can it handle, of any type of goods? Western Canada in particular needs far better options for sea access whether it's to ship oil, grain, or whatever.
I'd fully support Kenney in making a move to participate on a Provincial level to making such infrastructure a reality.

How about shipping oil to Thunder Bay and through the Great Lakes, up through the St. Lawrence as another option? I'm no expert but aren't the lakes navigable?
