Senator Paula Simons🇨🇦<p>On a similar note - on Friday, I toured the Vancouver harbour, with staff from the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority. These photos show the terminus of the TMX pipeline - where Alberta oil is loaded onto ships headed to Asia. Another reminder of how our provincial economies are deeply interconnected - and why Alberta is dependent on other Canadian provinces to succeed. <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Vancouver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Vancouver</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/TMX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TMX</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Alberta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Alberta</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/ableg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ableg</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/cdnpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cdnpoli</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/TRCM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TRCM</span></a></p>

Tim Bray<p>Hey folks, next month there’s an angry &amp; lighthearted book coming out with my name on the cover: “Standing on High Ground”. It’s an anthology of writing from people who were arrested protesting Canada’s awful “TMX” pipeline project.

Tim Bray<p>We should never have built the TMX pipeline, but there it is. The city of Burnaby had the tank farm and pipeline terminus forced on it, against overwhelming opposition, and is now planning for disaster scenarios: <br><a href="https://www.nationalobserver.com/2024/09/09/news/fireball-spill-explosion-preparing-possible-tmx-disasters" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nationalobserver.com/2024/09/0</span><span class="invisible">9/news/fireball-spill-explosion-preparing-possible-tmx-disasters</span></a></p><p><a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/tmx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tmx</span></a></p>
