It's working! The hypocrites in BC must be feeling the financial strain. Now we need to keep up the pressure until a pipeline agreement is hammered out and signed by all parties.

An Alberta refinery could help with squeezed gas supply in B.C.: Premier Horgan
LANGFORD, B.C. — British Columbia Premier John Horgan says Alberta may be the best place to boost refining capacity to increase a supply of fuel to the province.

The price of gasoline has been rising in B.C. for the last month and the cost for a litre of gas in Metro Vancouver has been hovering around $1.70.

Horgan says part of the problem is there’s too much demand and not enough supply, but adds that a 30-cent rise in gas prices in the last three months appears to be a result of gouging by oil companies.

The premier says most refineries are close to the source of the product and because Alberta has more expertise, that may be the better location for new refining capacity.

In 2014, B.C. newspaper mogul David Black had proposed a $13-billion oil refinery on B.C.’s northern coast, and Horgan says he encourages Black to bring the plan forward to go through the regulatory and environmental process.

Probably be a good time to inform BC how much $$ they will have to pony up to pay for the delays and endless headaches they have caused.
