Around the same numbers that care what the Brits think?

You don't think a poster calling himself "BritManToo" is a Brit? Why on earth would someone who's not British pretend to be one??

 

That was a joke. As I have a couple of good friends from the UK the popular British tradition of "taking the 'urine'" has rubbed off on me.😉

Carney did not impress as governor of the Bank of England.

Much respect for Carney on his visit to the Oval Orifice.

 

Carns has seen the light:  Net Zero is unworkable, unrealistic and frankly detached from reality when considering what India, China and the United States are doing.

Supposing Quebec and any native tribes could be brought onboard quickly what kind of time frame are we talking about  for the East Coast option? Surely, this is something that must have been discussed already.

About 8-10 years, as long as there was little delay with the environmental permits. ......

A quick check on Google Earth tells me Hudson Bay is abt. 500 nm across and twice that longitudinally. That's more than enough water to shelter the entire world fleet of LNG carriers. GE isn't great at showing water depths but there seems to be water depth enough most places.

The presence of drift ice could complicate things but not to the extent that it wouldn't be doable. I'm not saying it could be a 365 days/year operation but IMO it could certainly be an option for Canada.

 

Aye aye Cap'n.

You know, if it could be done, then I would say go for it. Hope you are right.  

 

Also, the crude needs to be processed and refined before shipping, and the biggest refineries in Canada are in the east.  So in the long run it may be easier to use existing ports/refineries and build a pipeline than to make a much shorter pipeline but need to build a new deepwater port facility.

 

Much cheaper to send it to the US for refining and consumption, if they can work something out. Canadian oil is heavy and costly to refine,  If it were to be exported further distant then there may be a very limited market due to cost and quality considerations. 

 

I think that Trump might have a more favorable view of Canada if she were to match the agreed NATO defence contribution agreement.

Have you ever once looked at a map of Canada? Or Hudson's Bay? Hudson's Bay is almost as big as the gulf of Mexico. I'm sure a 300m tanker wouldn't have a problem.

 

Gulf of America please. Keep up.

I did that on purpose. As I'm not American, I don't have to abide by the rants of the orange buffoon.

I did it on purpose too.

 

By the way a 300m tanker would definitely have problems trying have to navigate in Hudson Bay.

Yes, the US and Canada used to have a pretty good system going until the US elected a complete and utter moron. Maybe since Canada have now elected a PM that the first lady (presumably) isn't gonna throw her knickers after he might calm down a bit, who knows. But given the fact that he still blabbers on about the 51st state etc., I doubt things will improve much.

Donald J. Trump, the costliest joke in history.

Sometimes it helps reading the articles you post links to to avoid egg-on-face type moments. From the quoted article another of the countless examples of Trump's actions creating unintended consequences that are often the opposite of what Trump hoped for (of course, to the extent that he had a plan at all):

 

"Energy East, a 4,500 km pipeline from Alberta to the Irving refinery in New Brunswick, was proposed in 2013 by TransCanada (TC Energy) and abandoned in 2017 due to regulatory hurdles in Canada and strong opposition from environmental groups.

[But] According to a recent poll, both projects now receive a tremendous amount of support from Quebecers and both Liberals and Conservatives support pipeline construction in the context of a trade war with the United States. Former Prime Minister Stephen Harper recently said that Canada should immediately build a pipeline “in the east so we can supply our own country with energy.”"

I read it the link. Was your recent poll" included in there? No. You must love scrambled egg.

 

The permits are still required and would be difficult to secure, particularly through any First Nations land.

 

Try much harder.
