PRO-PIPELINE RALLIES IN BC

    Rallies were held Saturday in five B.C. cities to support the Trans Mountain pipeline project, as the deadline looms this week for Kinder Morgan to decide whether to build its $7.4-billion pipeline expansion.
   The rallies were held to bolster support for Kinder Morgan ahead of the Texas-based company’s May 31 deadline to receive certainty that the project can be built despite strong opposition in B.C.
    “These are people who want responsible economic development in this province,” said Throness, at the Langley rally. He emphasized the National Energy Board has determined the development to be safe.
  “We want to tell the premier (John Horgan) to stop contradicting himself in lawsuits for and against the pipeline and to shake hands with (Alberta) Premier (Rachel) Notley and to say let’s bring responsible economic development to this province,” he said.
