Heard this reported on the radio yesterday, the Port of Vancouver currently sees about 30 to 50 crude oil tankers per year, with the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project, this number could increase to about 400-600 tankers per year. That's a huge increase in flow.
Driving back from Vancouver yesterday saw $2.00/L gas prices for the first time ever. Oil is around $80 barrel right now, yet the price per litre is being pushed up every summer, and it ain't all taxes.
