Kinder Morgan Canada president Ian Anderson says he has learned a hard lesson travelling through British Columbia to explain his company’s $5.4-billion Trans Mountain expansion: All pipelines, like politics, are local.
Kinder Morgan’s plan for a huge expansion of its oil pipeline has become a central campaign issue for incumbent mayors in Vancouver and Burnaby, B.C., as they seek re-election on Nov. 15…
The regulatory process led by the National Energy Board began in August with gathering traditional knowledge from First Nations. The plan calls for nearly tripling the capacity of the Trans Mountain line between the Edmonton area and Burnaby to 890,000 barrels a day. The crude would be loaded onto tankers for shipment to international markets, which currently pay more than the industry’s traditional markets, such as the U.S. Midwest.
