Why should the Government of BC allow a pipeline to drive and pump a chemically and environmentally dangerous product, through a province who is dedicated to the environment? As Terry Lake, reports, BC is a province home to with the healthiest people in Canada that love the outdoors. With the introduction, BC will face a variety of concerns and benefits as the pipeline impacts the province. Among these will be economic benefit, from the selling of the oil, but many of the issues will be major concerns as the province will now have to deal with the clean up of any spills, and spill prevention.
With conservation being a key issue globally today, citizens of British Columbia and and government will be forced to decide if the benefits of this pipeline out weight the issues that can be foreseen. With many citizens for and against, individuals will have to take action and voice their opinions if they want a choice in the matter.
