    Shouldn't this just be posted in the ongoing topic on this story?

    And here it is just like clockwork. :roll:

    �Those beaches are�a national treasure, in my judgement, so we really have to keep them clean,� Meggs told CTV News Channel Friday.

    He said the spill �raises the question of what will happen if we see a dramatic increase in tanker traffic.�

    Absolutely correct.

    The Port of Vancouver should be closed to everything except canoes.

    Or, how about not gutting oversight and response capability if you are planning on ramping up tanker traffic?

    Close the Port of Vancouver, completely. It makes things too icky for Kitsilano.

    Or, maybe let's not not cut oversight and response capability if we are planning on ramping up tanker traffic?

    No, no, too reasonable. Just meet any incident with shoulder shrugs, since they don't live here. Spread a little oil on their front lawn, as happened to the good folks in Burnaby, then maybe we'll hear a different tune.

    Here's a question. Why should the Feds bother with any larger an oversight or response capability when, if what you say is true there isn't going to be any ramping up in traffic because:


    And it's the reason you'll never see the pipelines in BC built under this government


    Seems to me that the people screaming the loudest about coast guard base closures not being available for the supposed increased tanker traffic have shot themselves in the foot by lobbying for stopping any pipeline expansion.

    Maybe the Fed's figure that if the pipelines are eventually built there'll be plenty of time to reintroduce the checks and balances needed to protect the coastline from increased tanker traffic or maybe they just don't give a shit because they're tired of the NIMBY's in this province derailing every new project.

    We only need a proper response for increased tanker traffic, but current tanker and other marine traffic, meh? Nice.

    Whether is gets to the coast by pipe or rail, it still needs to cross the water in a tanker ship. Waterways are the Federales responsibility.
