Show Notes
Almost five years ago, British Columbia announced five “conditions” for its “approval” of the Kinder Morgan TransMountain pipeline expansion. The last of the five conditions – that there be a “fair share of benefits” for British Columbians – has now been met, with Kinder Morgan agreeing to pay $500-million to $1-billion over 20 years to the B.C. government. Environmental concerns will be addressed by the 194 specific national and provincial conditions for the project, plus the federal commitment to a $1.5-billion ocean-protection plan. But the fifth condition was all about money and local politics.
