Trans Mountain update…

Project timeline

Canada approved the Trans Mountain Expansion on June 18, 2019. The work is subject to 156 conditions that the regulator ensures are carried out. The most prodigious condition of construction is always the cleanup or reclamation.

The stated goal of this project’s reclamation efforts is to protect the environment, have a small impact on land, and return it to its original function if there were to be an impact.

Wetlands, Farm to be returned to function if disrupted.

Trans Mountain has committed to this in writing in the application conditions in the approval and in more generic terms in its newsletter and of course by doing it along the way. Some things are mitigated when the original value is degraded and the enjoyment of local life enhanced by mitigating a recreational or environmental legacy for communities.

There are many specifics in this month’s trans mountain today on plans and opportunities for the reclamation of the progressive and completed work.

These are us!

This is us, we own this as Canadians at this point, and the value of our citizenship is being communicated by the care and control of this endeavor. Let’s look at this as a legacy for the civility and attachment to successful completion and mitigation during a very challenging time in our life. Fortune follows the brave and while not viewed as heroic the fact that it goes through us, bisects our land, and curates our landscape with a common compliment, is indeed a legacy, we should brood. Because it was done right when other things were wrong. Done right in the way that patient progress passed the clamor of fears.

Marie Antoinette, said. “you take the cake” spoof

I was a queen, and you took away my crown; a wife, and you killed my husband; a mother, and you deprived me of my children. My blood alone remains: take it, but do not make me suffer long.

The TMX project is ongoing, and the existing line will be running at capacity for the month of October 2021.

Seven percent apportionment (nominations for tariff on possible shipping), over capacity.

The volume of oil to run is at capacity, with 7 percent to be apportioned.

The energy sector around the world works on a monthly cycle. The Trans Mountain Pipeline is part of that cycle. Apportionment describes the amount of demand shippers place on the pipeline in excess of its available capacity. Here’s a step-by-step guide to the apportionment determination that’s carried out every month for the existing Trans Mountain Pipeline system.

TM today
  • Each month our shippers submit requests for how much petroleum (crude oil and refined products) they want to ship through the pipeline to service their customers. These requests are called ‘nominations’.
  • Based on shippers’ nominations, we then determine the ‘capacity’ available on the pipeline for the month. Determining pipeline capacity is complex. Capacity is affected by, among other things, the types of products that have been nominated, any pipeline system maintenance activities that will reduce flows that month and carry-over volumes that haven’t completed their transit of the pipeline by month’s end.
  • Based on available pipeline capacity and the volume of shipper nominations we received, we calculate apportionment using a method accepted by the Canada Energy Regulator and forming part of our tariff. A tariff includes the terms and conditions under which the service of a pipeline is offered or provided, including the tolls, the rules and regulations, and the practices relating to specific services.
  • If shipper nominations are less than pipeline capacity, the apportionment percentage to that destination is “zero” and all the product volumes nominated by shippers are accepted to be transported that month.
  • If shipper nominations exceed pipeline capacity, the apportionment is a percentage greater than zero.

Apportionment has been up to 40 percent…

The apportionment ( over capacity nominations) is sometimes up to 40 percent. This is a good indication that expansion is a good business plan.

There is almost double the amount of doses per 100 people in Canada as compared to the world’s 80.75. The number of 1st doses for the world is north of three and a half billion. This is taking pressure off the notion that there is an inequity in giving boosters to the vulnerable in the Canadian population.

Alberta September cases 15% of all cases since beginning of outbreak

Alberta reported 45,655 cases in September. The reason is purported to be because of unrestricted opening up that was to early and a large unvaccinated population.

Get vaccinated.

Now is the time for the resistant to be vaccinated. There is a lot of access including major grocery store pharmacies.

Large populations of young returning to school.

Six Hundred thousand children are returning to school in BC this fall and smaller doses of vaccine is on the cusp of being used for them. The amount world wide is a considerable part of the population and the undertaking would go better if the unvaccinated was not a complication.

Good luck as we hope for a return to normal living.

Canada agreed to a goal of 30 percent reduction of Green house gases by 2030. This was at the Paris accord in 2015. the base line was 2005 emissions, to set reduction plans by.

2018 broad set PCF: Canadian frame work on clean growth and climate change; backstop jurisdiction:

The charge on fossil fuel 10 dollars increasing yearly to 50 dollars by 2022.

Out put based pricing on Industrial facilities same price as equivalent fossil fuel 10 x5 = 50 dollars a ton 2022.

Government of emissions reduction, update.

On July 12 2021, Johnathon Wilson, minister filed a report to the UN saying that the commitment for 2030’s emissions level in Canada is increased from 30 percent 40-45 percent by that same year.

15 dollars per ton increase for overage in carbon emissions…

To get to the 40-45 percent reduction the government registered a 15 dollar raise in carbon tax on both backstops.

Output based base line.

The base from which facility emission is calculated is 70 % of a “Production based national average of the intensity of emissions. This cap and trade leaves 30 % to tax and set as a goal to reduce so as to lessen tax.

Net zero by 2050

Canada passed laws to support net zero growth by 2050.

Editors note:

The UN has no jurisdiction to enforce any convention, however Canada has passed a number of laws to support its participation in this endeavor. The September 20th Canadian election is obviously a necessary seeking of a parliamentary mandate to support the goals of government including the trans mountain expansion.

Japanese History as Seamen

The Japanese have a tradition of seamanship and vessels. They are not to be mistaken for the Chinese and their junks. Both have a long trading history with the middle east and the sill road when it was mostly navigated by following the long coastline. Their craft resembles the Arabic sloops of that time.

Sample attitude of public health officials across Atlantic Canada.

The road ahead is now clear but there are no shortcuts if you want to see New Brunswick reach that green level as quickly as possible please go out and get yourself vaccinated and encourage your family and friends to do the same thank you very much good afternoon .It is important that we don’t lose sight of our objective we know that there’s been some differences and and how we’re rolling out and moving forward in the end and of getting beyond covid we also know that we’re all very tired of this and no one’s any more tired of of than I am but this isn’t a time to lose control or lose patience or cause disruptions to friend and neighbors this is a time that we exercise restraint we keep moving in a direction that’s getting us back to life as normal and we do so in our respective areas that are providing the best health care needs and opportunities we are on the cusp here of getting back to green (normal) and will work through the issues within Atlantic region and I’m confident that we will be able to do so I’m going to be meeting with my with my colleagues our view hasn’t changed we are very comfortable with the recommendations of public health we’re very comfortable with the capabilities in our respective provinces the border between Atlanta provinces and we will make all of this work. It was a path to Green.

There are some very precise requirements to meet in order to go to the next phase it’s take it took a phase approach of easing the covid-19 restrictions it’s based on recommendations of public health and it was approved by the Covington committee
