This is not an Enbridge Animation

Enbridge produced a video which carefully edited out the islands which make navigation so tricky between its proposed pipeline terminal and the Pacific Ocean. This video shows what is really at risk. Please sign the petition.

Who am I and what is this

I am a transportation economist and regional planner, displaced from England by the abolition of the Greater London Council and a dislike of Thatcherism. Until March of 2004 I worked for the Greater Vancouver Transportation Authority on wide variety of policy issues. I have long advocated sensible policies to better integrate transport and land use. And this blog is a way to keep up the pressure! It also allows me to vent a bit on related issues.
