Hope Alberta cuts off Oil and Gas to BC or the same effect would be use pipeline for just Jet fuel which they could do :-) Let's drive the price up to $3.50 a litre. That will help reduce emmisions. Oh and kill the economy completely.

As an Alberta resident, I promise to lobby our provincial government to reduce carbon emissions by driving BC's fual costs per liter to $2.50 - $3.50. This will change behavior and benefit our climate. earthday
