Coast to Coast? Or Just BC to Ontario?

So, here’s the thing: the oil patch in Alberta is looking to get its liquid gold to markets around the world. As part of the boycott to trade with the United States, that means that a pipeline needs to go across Canada, at least as far as the oil depots in British Columbia and on Hudson Bay in Ontario. (Quebec has vowed that pipelines can never be built in the Belle Provence.)

But there’s a flaw in this potential union of the oil shipping pipelines: wildfires. Imagine if ANY of them had leaks. I’m suggesting that the confluence of oil/gas, air and fire would be devastating. There wouldn’t be enough water in all of Canada to put it out. Scorched earth? You bet.
