Burnaby is not indicative of support for the pipeline which is led by Mayor Derek Corrigan, a junior varsity member of the BC NDP (as Vancouver is led by former BC NDP MLA Mayor Moonbeam aka Gregor Robertson).

In the last BC provincial election in 2001 the then leader of the BC NDP Adrian Dix (former chief of staff to the discredited Premier Glen Clark who was forced to resign but not before Dix had forged a memo to try to give his boss cover from conflict of interest - yes Dix admitted under oath at Clark's criminal trial he had forged the memo) changed his position late in the election to oppose the Kinder Morgan oil pipeline failing to woo the environmentalist/Green vote.  Dix managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of sure victory and Premier Christy Clark and the BC Liberals (centre/right fiscally conservative party not your Ontario/federal Liberal parties) were returned with an increased majority.

That result is indicative of the province wide support for pipelines.
