The oil is already moving 7x24x356. Are you drunk? you seem even more confused then normal. Any moron knows a land oil spill is typically less harmful then a sea oil spill and much easiler to remediate. Of course rivers and lakes can be problematic. Also pipelines are monitored and can be isolated when thet leak. Tankers well, there is often no mitigation in an accident on the open seas.
lets load tankers rail cars with Tar and sail drive them on the coast of Nothern BC . all over the country . 1 tanker accident and you wipe out the livelihoods of tens of thousands of indiginous people. Would Alberta Nottboi accept the UNLIMITED LIABILITY for cleanup?

you contradicted yourself inside of 10 minutes
you have the same MO as Frankfooter, just blither away and hope something sticks , never really thinking about what you post

Railcars are already moving, the fact that you don't understand the risk of railcars vs tankers just shows how clueless you are. High cost train accidents are quite rare, the worst oil related one in Lac Megantic was contained while the others were almost inconsequential. Since then railcars have been improved and laws enacted to limit how much oil a train can carry. As it stands about 120K bbls of oil move by rail in Canada each day so filling the eastern reserve would not be a significant increase traffic nor would it create and existential risk to any communities.

How can you blame Trudeau for cancelling energy east? :
TransCanada Pipelines filed its formal project application with the National Energy Board. At the same time a number of groups announced their intention to oppose the pipeline.[2] The project was cancelled on October 5, 2017 by TransCanada.[3]

Yet I'm willing to be they will still receive tax incentives. Embedded interests and all that....
Well oil companies receive tax incentives don't they? There are many reasons to give EVs tax incentives, one being that with 2 way charge ports they can be used to stabilize the power grid.

CRAZY how "dirty Alberta oil" all of a sudden became "Canadian energy" huh? :ROFLMAO:
Look, the competitors to Canada are trying lock out Canadian oil from their markets. Oil is oil and to me Oilsands is far less damaging then fracked shale oil. But lets not kid anyone, its very energy intensive to extract. And heavy crude when spilled into the sea is very persistant and damaging. Does it make sense to burn all that LNG to extract bitumin? Or better to export the gas as LNG? I don'yt know the answer. I think maybe if they can do it with diluents that would make more sense.

In 2023, Canada exported $124-billion of oil. $124-billion. Ninety-seven per cent of it went to the United States. Nearly all of it came from Alberta.

That amount contributes a good amount to the tax base which helps funds healthcare, defence..and so on and so on..

You REALLY want to go down the path of how much oil companies actually receive? All those 'studies" that show how much subsidies oil receives? 80% of it is arguing they should be taxed more...
For this opinion, actually READ the reports and get back to me....

In 2023, the Canadian government provided at least $18.553 billion in financial support to the fossil fuel and petrochemical industries. This includes:

  • $8 billion in loan guarantees for the Trans Mountain pipeline
  • $7.339 billion in public financing through Export Development Canada
  • Over $1.3 billion for carbon capture and storage projects

Which minister of Norway has singled out its oil sector out of other
industries to enforce a 35% emission cap by 2030?

I do admit I don't get all the facts right in that Norway does have its
counterparts to climate hypocrites in Trudeau's administration.
In Canada we have a climate warrior who gave approval to the
climate-destroying mega oil drilling project offshore Newfoundland.
In Norway climate hypocrisy already reared its ugly head by venturing
into the pristine Arctic water from the North Sea drilling for new oil.
Climate deniers are the ones that cannot accept the affects of Climate Change that have impacted several countries around the Globe. 2024 is now the warmest temperature on record and we have seen the warmup in the last few years rather than the "cyclical" theory from the Climate Change deniers!!
Pee Pee is all talk and no substance in this respect!!
Norway has also significantly reduced its emissions by 90,000 tonnes in 2024, although their Natural Gas production has increased to a record 42.5 Billion cubic metres in 2024!!
They have stepped up to the plate since the Russian invasion of Ukraine!!
Their Oil production has decreased from a high of almost 3500 Barrels a day in 2001 to presently just over 2000 Barrels a day.
Yet their Revenues have outstripped that of Alberta without hurting their economy!!

On the slopes of Mount Parnassus, Greece
How hot was it in medieval times?


The Medieval Warm Period (MWP) was a time of warm climate from about 900–1300 AD, when global temperatures were somewhat warmer than at present. Tempera- tures in the GISP2 ice core were about 2°F (1°C) warmer than modern temperatures
