Follow THIS LINK to a CBC special concerning the proposed northern gateway pipeline.
There are some inaccuracies
1) it's not an 'oil pipeline'
- the proposed twin pipeline ships bitumen (east - west) and condensate (west - east).
- bitumen is thick and sludgy, and thinned with the condensate to flow through the pipes.
- The Kalamazoo River disaster was due to the corosive qualities of bitumen on enbridge pipes
- this spill totalled over 100 million BARRELS (50 gallons) of bitumen.
2) Enbridge hasn't claimed tanker traffic safe
- There is reason to believe that once the bitumen leaves the shore, it is no longer enbridge's responsibility. this is something to be looked into.
