Trans mountain in its quest for permiting and Social Licence for its expansion to bring more Alberta fossil fuel and fertilizers to the sea coast is seeing challenges to its operations struck down.
On Tuesday, the Federal Court of Appeal issued an unanimous decision, dismissing four challenges to the federal Cabinet’s approval of the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion Project. The Court’s conclusion was that there were no legal grounds for setting aside Cabinet’s decision. While the parties challenging Cabinet’s decision are fully entitled to oppose the Project, reconciliation and the duty to consult do not provide them with a veto over projects such as this one.

The Trans Mountain pipeline people are using horizontal drilling as well as other methods to cause less disturbance in the laying of the extension of its pipeline to the Coast of BC.
The project is said to emplyee 2200 people and is building on 60 some years of reputation operating the existing line.
We will use trenchless construction techniques, where appropriate, to minimize disruptions.

This happens every two to three years, so these sorts of Blue Moons come about that often.
