Hopefully he decides to pop in Indonesia and see that pipeline oil spill the size of Paris (France, not Ontario).  Oops.

Yes the pipeline owners wasted 3-4 days pointing fingers before they realized it was their pipeline and turned off the taps

As there is only one pipeline and only one owner, I don't think there would be any confusion over who's pipeline this is.

The leak was underwater, and they said it was ships.

This pipeline doesn't run underwater, at least not anywhere ships can go.

This? you mean KM?

The point is that pipeline companies do a terrible job in detecting leaks, and Canadian companies are no better here. Kalamazoo took forever to detect, and that field in Alberta a year or so ago was found because someone noticed the huge blackened area and not the pipeline operator.

Keystone spill is now twice as big as they'd thought too.

The existing Trans Mountain has been there since 1953 with no major leaks and there have been no tanker spills. You won't have to worry about any of that if Notley shuts it down. You will have a lot more to worry about.

Construction workers dug a hole in it and they knew about it instantly.  It did not spring a leak. But shut if off if you like.

Anyone who uses fossil fuels has no business complaining about occasional incidents relating to the supply of those fossil fuels. Shutting off the supply of fuel to Vancouver would be an appropriate lesson for the self righteous complaining fossil fuels while they use them to keep the city running.

Yes it would be good, they can develop alternatives and rip that sludge pipe out of the ground.

People generally don't care about such things when the economy is collapsing.

Everything you consume comes to you by something that uses fossil fuels. See if you can do without them while you develop those alternatives.
