Mayor Brodie needs more power to fight against the jet fuel pipeline that nobody wants here in the City of Richmond.
How about the country of Richmond & Brodie becomes an ex mayor & his new title "Prime Minster." ( of the new country of Richmond. Steveston the capital city of course.)
Net result " no pipeline "
What kind of province & country do we live in when 99.999 of the people of Richmond do not want the pipeline to go ahead including the mayor & sports & commercial fisheries & still there is a real possibility the project is " a go head ".
Bet homeowners on or near the route will have to sell their homes for less & take much longer to find a buyer.

Just curious but how does the opposition to this pipeline propose the jet fuel gets to the airport? I can't come up with an alternative method. Has there been problems with the existing pipeline? I know it is over 40 years old and I don't remember hearing of problems with it.
I would be interested to hear what alternatives are proposed.

The vapor BC link in above posts suggests that the existing pipeline should get an upgrade & it should meet the demand.
Haven't an idea why they do not go hat route.
