Cruise ships are
also prone to accidents also. Costa Concordia, anyone?
Exxon Valdez?

The spill in New Zea Land. Enbridge has another leak, into the Gulf. Enbridge had a 1,500 barrel spill, in Wrigley N.W.T. that leak was during, the fire in Slave Lake. There was of course, the Enbridge spill into the Kalamazoo River. Enbridge didn’t bother to clean up that disaster up either. A pipe burst some distance from Edmonton. This spill made the F.N. children so sick, they had to abandon their school. The F.N. clean drinking water was totally contaminated

The seas around Kitimat, are one of the most treacherous in the world. Every other day, there are high wind warning. There are hurricane force winds. Waves up to 40 and 50 feet high. Hairpin curves, for these dirty oil tankers to navigate. It is difficult to navigate in good weather, let alone in the wild storms. The channel is narrow with undersea rock ledges, the tankers are massive.

There is still oil gathering on the rocks, from the Valdez spill over 21 years ago. The immense China tankers would make the Valdez spill, look like a teacup spill.

Will Harper, China, Alberta and the Campbell/Clark BC Liberals care? Hell no, they are too stupid to care.
