As long as you build these for redundancy and with the absolute best leak detection and prevention technology we have.

Canada is a beautiful land we don’t need to ruin forever, and oil leaks are forever.

Not good enough.

Because the main problem is that there is one spot on the BC coast able to safely handle supertankers: Point Roberts in Tsawwassen.

Everything else is either too shallow, too narrow, and/or littered with thousands of underwater sandbars and mountains.

The best option would be to take back the following facilities, restore their full refinery operations and make them crown corporations with oversight by Greenpeace and local first nations. The Esso, Petro-Canada, Shell, Chevron and now Parkland(recently sold to a US oil company) lands are reduced to tank farms. Turn them back into full refineries and make the product in Vancouver.

Then sell it internationally and to the US.
