Future of Trans Mountain pipeline expansion as long-awaited project opens

[@loganholmberg2295]

oil will always be profitable. we use it for too many things.

[@hexxlaxx2992]

We need pipelines from coast to coast.

[@garyhaggquist740]

Nah, we're in a climate crisis - that would be a crime against the futures of all children.

[@jaygray7102]

More like a coast to coast to coast rail service first. Not a bullet train, but something like 'sky trains' that will service smaller communities enroute. Pipelines to transport water, we can't survive without that.

[@abatos1146]

Hopefully this will lead to a decrease in gas prices for Canadians.

[@alancadieux2984]

Nope. The reason for those price hikes by the turd's taxes have nothing to do with this.

[@HamidA-to8vy]

Unfortunately it might be the opposite, cause the Canadian oil will get more valuable, pricy , and refining capacity will stay the same

[@vasilytanygin]

rising demand to decrease prices?

[@alancadieux2984]

I replied to your comment, but since the channel operators deletes what they don't like, not much point.

Federal incompetence wastes billions

[@FactsAllowed]

$34 Billion. Let me loose on the Audit, I was watching some of the fiasco along the Coquihalla Highway, and the number of cranes lying idle for weeks.

[@CarlingOV]

there are billions of stolen dollars in this project. Do an Audit, press charges and imprison the criminals

[@garyevans718]

This should have been done many years ago but because of politics, protesters and first nations...... trying to build it turned into a nightmare. That's why Kinder Morgan wanted out, so instead of paying for a huge law suit the federal government bought it. Now the first nations wants to buy a piece of this pipeline using our tax dollars and then what would they do with it ? They wouldn't use it as ransom, no...they wouldn't do that.

[@Buttercup312]

Hopefully we can move beyond serving our American masters...Canada HAS to move beyond the American market.

[@jaygray7102]

the pipeline I remember Conservatives complaining bitterly about....because Trudeau approved it, not because they didn't want it. More money is being invested in Canada for Canadians. Conservatives sold part of Canada to China so they can dig their own oil, then they went a step further and gave them the right to sue Canada. They did it once, they'll do it again.

[@Mike.715]

We paid for the pipe line and instead of using the extra oil in BC and Canada to lower the price of gas we ship it overseas! Are you FU*KING KIDDING ME !!!!

It is the same as iron ore from Quebec when the iron ore producers were first starting up because of high prices in China for construction steel. A test shipment of iron ore pellets was sent from Sept-Iles port in Quebec to US steel companies on the great lakes. The price per ton the US companies paid was 35 US dollars. Then iron ore was then sent to China and it sold for 135 US dollars per ton. We need more than one customer for our products. I am glad the Canadian government made the TMX happen. Canadians should benefit from Canadian products.

[@darsharhef]

You mean, the iron ore stolen, from nfld and labrador.

The world will never transition from oil as long as its there

[@nottellinnoone2074]

Yup. But there could be one thing...what if something synthetic or something similar created through technology ...then it's possible

[@lmtada]

No it will. Oil, petroleum are finite products. Look at coal. 150 years ago. Coal was the power. Than Petroleum. What next. Something cheap, abundant and clean.

[@patientzero291]

If you ask me, I want the Canadian government to own all the natural resources within the country and give contracts for extraction.

The Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project has indeed faced significant cost overruns. Let’s delve into the details: Initial Estimates and Actual Costs: Initially, the project was estimated to cost around $5.4 billion. However, the actual cost escalated dramatically, reaching a staggering $30.9 billion. This sixfold increase highlights serious mismanagement and unforeseen expenses.

[@MrJmpowers]

KMI sold the existing line 1 for 4.5B. That price was for the existing line and assets and did not include the cost associated to build the Line 2 expansion.

[@Ship-19]

The prices of local crude rose because there was a lack of supply. Now there is 300% more going to PORT Vancouver and extra for Burnaby. Prices will rise. Alberta will profit and complain

As soon as the Canada 🇨🇦 Trans Mountain pipepine is open, China 🇨🇳 will hurriedly apply to buy Canadian fossil oil and gas for sure. Thanks, China for - building more and more *coal-fired power plants,* and - burning more and more *fossil fuel.*

[@eekthecat9933]

They get cheap oil and gas from Russia already .

[@josephsmith594]

China is building renewables faster than any country on the planet. Yes, they’re still using coal as well, but their progress moving away from fossil fuels is admirable. They’re welcome to buy Canadian oil if they’d like, but we’re pretty far away, there probably isn’t much interest in our dirty bitumen.
