That ship left Vancouver on June 18, and it’ll be lucky to get to Saint John before July 18. At least a month to deliver half of what EE would bring in per day. Thinking more about this, maybe if the TMX can fuel this stupid voyage consistently and it’s driven into easterners heads that it makes no sense we could get some traction going for an energy east pipeline. Especially once keystone gets killed by Biden
And with TMX it’s great that this consultation chapter is concluded but we’re still looking down the barrel of over two years of construction. We are now moving from legal obstruction to extra legal obstruction by groups that have no regard for our laws, economy, or national security. What will they try? Another rail blockade? Equipment sabotage like what happened in Merrit this year? Anything’s possible. This is my biggest fear now, you have a highly motivated eco radical movement that has no shame, and a weak federal government. That’s a bad combo for moving a project along on time, we’re going to be very fortunate if we see oil flowing before the end of 2022.
