How about if the CANADIANS. shipped THEIR oil to Vancouver and took it wherever THEY want to go by ship?
Besides, I believe that Canadian oil is nationalized so why do we have anything to do with commies?
More hypocrisy.

The irrational Left (Democrats) will take any opportunity to demonize fossil fuel they can, and certainly lie and mislead. All the while needing and using fossil fuel on a daily basis in their homes, cars, airplanes, work, and everywhere else, but make themselves feel less guilty by virtue signaling.

No, you just nonsensically ranted about Republicans and didn't actually point out any "hypocrisy".

We're talking about a pipeline leak on the section installed during the Obama administration that created a tiny spill that was retained in one of the safety features.

If you can't contribute, that's fine, I'll just filter you off but I like to see a variety of viewpoints if they're rational and supported so it's rather a last resort for the worst right and left wingers around here.

Not nationalized.

Contaminants in a wetland generally have an easy path to contaminate ground water, which can't be cleaned up.

These spills can have very long-term impacts. How many people would want to drink water contaminated by this stuff? https://toxics.usgs.gov/highlights/2...challenge.html

Uh, this pipeline was constructed long before Trump took office. Speaking of pipes, I'd suggest putting yours down and don't take another hit of whatever you're smoking. The brain damage from whatever's in it is already evident.

This is true. The extension of it bid earlier this year and isn't to be completed until 2020-2021. A pipeline is the most efficient and safe way to move oil, as electric pumps can be used and we aren't burning fuel to move fuel and pipelines leak much less than trains and trucks crash.
