OMG enough with the desperation! You don't own a goddam oil company and neither does anyone who contributes to this board.
Hoping to ship oil BY RAIL, through the ARCTIC to a port only open part of the year? Jeez even Christy Clark wouldn't have tried to sell that dream.
Do you think maybe only lower mainland BC native bands can raise a shitstorm?
Just fix the fucking thing so people, supplies and grain can get moving again. This whole thing turned into an even bigger snafu than the BC Rail sale.
The only desperate person here is you. Now that there's a very good chance the shipping of oil to Churchill will proceed you're front and center again to make assertions that nobody, not even the former Premier of BC would have ever thought or would consider doing something as stupid as shipping it by rail.
I'm beginning to think you're terrified of oil being shipped period because you and you anti oil friends can't protest the building of something that already exists which makes it all the more difficult to shut down. And think about it. If they're shipping millions of litres of oil a year by rail to Vancouver and eastern Canada I'm sure if the rail line is fixed they'll start moving it to Churchill whether you agree or not.
So do me a favour and try reading these before you go off half cocked because people alot more cognizant about the oil business than you or I have been talking about using the port for years now.

The Trans Mountain Pipeline wasn't quashed because the natives wanted it quashed, it was quashed because proper consultation wasn't carried out with some coastal bands. So, for oil to be shipped through Churchill all the Gov't, Province and town have to do is go through a proper consultation process with the affected bands and my guess is they'll come onboard when they see the financial windfall they can get from the rail network or the inevitable pipeline, just like all the Natives along the Trans Mountain route.
As for the other bands who aren't affected, they can scream all they want but they have no legal right to stop projects not on their land.
