Enbridge Line 9: W5 uncovers unreported spills, alarming communities along 830-km pipe

This info should be used to make sure pipelines are as safe as we can make them. Clamp down on those pipeline companies.

It's not an argument against pipelines, since rail transport is more hazardous. And we for sure aren't going to stop using oil anytime soon.

159 litres in a bbl of oil..

love these spills...lol

1 litre?

Andy's car leaks more than that in a day.

The Red Star want's it to be reported!

Oil is shipped by the bbl not the litre but the left wing likes to use litres spilled because it's a much bigger number.

Missed that other one of 3 million plus as you rush to the 1 litre one, eh?

Missed the other spill locations eh? Do the math.

Missed the other spill locations eh? Do the math.

Irrelevant to that 3 million litre one you glossed over, sport.

Missed the other spill locations eh? Do the math.

I think I get the math JJ.

I did a search in the article on the word "litre". I see one mention of 7 leaks over the 38 years at one facility totaling about 3,000 litres.

5 spills over the years at another facility totaled 1,824 litres.

It appears the largest spill over the years was one outside of Calgary in 2011 of 4000 litres.

Those are the ones they mention, so best guess is they are what is significant. OK, so if you calculate that over 38 years then a litre a day is being generous. Most of these appeared to have happened at the facilities outside of towns. I'm guessing loading accidents.

In any case, amount of oil spilled in accidents isn't what the big crybaby binge is even really about. The pipeline has always been there. It used to go East to West bringing conflict oil from people who hate us westward from the ocean. However now some people have suggested it might make more sense to use our own oil, and send it down the same pipeline from West to East.

This apparently is a problem for somebody? Who, I wonder? And who would have the power to sic the media whores from W-5 on the guys who want to use Canadian oil?

Just think when one of them found out about the Becquerel. Liberal happy faces all around.
