I thought it was going to New Brunswick or Nova Scotia in the first place. When did Quebec become the end terminal? Oh yeah, I forgot. They probably threatened to separate if they didn't get the deal. They've only been doing this for about 50 years.
Oh, and Beluga whales are an endangered species? Well, guess what? So is anyone living near a rail line that has tankers rolling by that are filled with crude oil.
This is a bogus piece of anti oil sands propaganda...some greenies in Quebec kicked up a fuss so the new terminus is St. John New Brunswick
