The case asks if the province has the authority to control the shipment of heavy oils based on the impact spills could have on the environment, human health or communities

VANCOUVER — British Columbia’s Court of Appeal will consider a key question regarding provincial powers in the political battle over the future of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project during a five-day hearing that starts Monday.

Specifically, it asks if proposed amendments to British Columbia’s Environmental Management Act are valid and if they give the province the authority to control the shipment of heavy oils based on the impact spills could have on the environment, human health or communities.Alberta Premier Rachel Notley and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have said only Ottawa, not the provinces, has the authority to decide what goes in trans-boundary pipelines.

Last summer, the Federal Appeal Court overturned approval of the project to triple oil shipments from Edmonton to Burnaby, B.C., ruling that the National Energy Board had not properly considered its impact on marine life nor had Ottawa meaningfully consulted with Indigenous groups.

Pretty funny the hack jjhorgan thinks this would be OK but it would be against all the rules for Alberta to decide not to ship fuel to BC.

B.C. Court of Appeal to hold five-day hearing on Trans Mountain pipeline and provincial powersThe B.C. government is asking the court if the province has jurisdiction to regulate the transport of oil through its territory and to restrict bitumen shipments from Alberta. If BC is so convinced they can live without it let them back it up Shut off the flow of oil and all its byproducts These people are morons. Oil and gas is a global market and there is no such thing as Canadian oil and gas being used in Canada instead of evil Muslim oil and gas...unless they want to nationalize it. Ironic to say the least from mostly rightwing nutjobs. Never ending rabbit hole, just build it.
