Geezus, what in God's name are you reading???   "it's reasonable to be concerned about oil tankers navigating the rivers and streams of B.C. to get to the sea"   Really?  You think Georgia Strait and the Strait of Juan de Fuca are "rivers and streams"??   Except for them being 25 miles wide and filled with salt water I guess.   And the terminal for filling this ships (as well as the pipeline) has been in place for 60 years.  And the sky hasn't fallen yet, but the Lower mainland (read - Vancouver) gets roughly 90% of its oil and gas from it.
