Environment Minister Peter Kent last week cracked the whip over the review panel studying the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline project, which is intended to smoke tobacco pipe bring Alberta oilsands bitumen across the British Columbia mountains to the port of Kitimat for shipment across the Pacific Ocean. Mr. Kent directed the panel to complete its review and make its report no later than Dec. 13, 2013.
This may require shortcuts and hasty conclusions from the panel. Enbridge president Al Monaco was also heard from last week, explaining that his firm is pipe smoking totally dedicated to the prevention of spills. This was reassuring because Calgary-based Enbridge on July 25 spilled 20,000 barrels of oil from a pipeline near Marshall, Mich., into the Kalamazoo River. The company’s poor handling of that spill reminded the U.S. Transport Safety Agency chairman of the Keystone Kops.
Several other recent Enbridge pipeline spills in the U.S. have heightened anxiety about damage to salmon rivers and coastal communities along the route of wooden pipes the company’s proposed Northern Gateway line.
