Enbridge project to bring jobs to southwest . A multimillion-dollar oil pipeline ...
While oil tankers now prowl Canada's east and west coasts and roll up the St. Lawrence River to Montreal without the public giving it a second thought, Mr. Ignatieff's plan would banish tankers from a safer port in northern B.C. and kill much-needed jobs and investment in the region. Tankers have been shipping in petroleum products to Kitimat and tankering out of Vancouver for 50 years without incident and the existing southern pipeline owners have plans to double their pipeline shipments to the West Coast, ultimately reaching a daily volume at least seven times the Gulf of Mexico leak.
So what was the idea that caught the immediate attention of the business community but which Premier Gary Doer did not have time to hear? Mr. [Kevin Taft] has noticed that Alberta's ability to refine bitumen from the tar sands is reaching capacity, so much so that oil companies have started planning to move diluted bitumen by pipeline from Alberta to upgrader plants as far away as Texas, Michigan and Illinois. In fact, a new pipeline to Texas for exactly that purpose recently was approved. Within eight years it is predicted that one million barrels a day will be exported to the U.S. for refining. But if a pipeline can be built from Alberta to Texas, if the construction and refining jobs and all the wealth and taxes that such a mega-project generates can be shipped south, why aren't we t...

Enbridge began construction of its Southern Lights project this year, a project that includes an expansion of new pipeline from Clearbrook, Minn., to Chicago, and the reversal of a crude oil pipeline that currently runs from Edmonton to Clearbrook, Sask. [...] the Birdtail council has entered into negotiations with the two contracting companies to provide on-site security for construction equipment, a contract that could net another 30 security guard jobs for Dakota residents from all five Westman bands.
[Michael Ignatieff] compared a national oil pipeline in the 21st century to the national railway in the 19th. The railway was ridiculed in its day as economic madness. "But without it, we wouldn't have a country... I look at the east-west linkages that tie our country together," he told Globe and Mail columnist Lawrence Martin, "and I do wonder whether they are strong enough to offset the north-south flows that dominate our economy. The oil, the natural gas, the hydro -- it all flows south. Where is the national grid to share our power, the east-west pipeline to share our oil and to guarantee our energy security as a nation? Contacted for an interview, a spokesman for Ignatieff said he will take the summer to research the issue and will have more to say in the fall. Liberal energy crit...
China has experienced pressing energy shortages in recent years, and Beijing has intensified its efforts to secure China's energy supply through both increased domestic production and external expansion. In this paper, I first analyze China's global quest for energy by looking at the correlation between China's economic growth and its energy security concerns. I then examine the implications of China's "go-out" strategy through two sets of case studies. I argue that China's global search for energy is primarily driven by its rapid economic growth, out of insecurity rather than a master plan to dominate the world, and that China's energy security issues have multiple implications beyond simple economic concerns. Finally, I recommend a forward-looking engagement policy to be adapted by Ca...

A report by the Natural Resources Defence Council, to be released Monday at a symposium in Washington, D.C., has been obtained by The Canadian Press. The report potentially damages the market for oilsands oil by encouraging U.S. regulations against fuels that generate high volumes of greenhouse gases in their use and manufacture. Up to 18,000 potential refining jobs could be sent south to the United States with oilsands crude if TransCanada Corp's (TSX:TRP) proposed Keystone pipeline receives regulatory approval, an Alberta labour leader told the National Energy Board on Thursday. MONTREAL -- Coffee retailer Van Houtte Inc. (TSX:VH), which is being bought by a U.S. private equity firm in a $600-million deal, is moving closer to being taken private and out of Canadian hands.
