I have to say I'm not pleased with how the Canadian Federal Liberals handled the Kinder-Morgan pipeline expansion. Instead of allowing Kinder-Morgan to use their own means to twin their existing pipeline, and instead of blocking the expansion to protect the environment owing to Kinder-Morgan's sketchy stewardship of their Burnaby line (a break spewed oil like a geyser into a residential neighbourhood not far from where I live), the Liberals simply chose to use taxpayer money to completely buy out the land rights to the Trans-Mountain Pipeline. The baseline cost for that is $3.5 billion.
So now every Canadian, all 39 million of us, are all part owners of the TMP. I figure the Libs will be too cheap to send us deeds to our individual stakes in this thing, so I created some on my own. This is the black and white version, which looks pretty decent. Tomorrow, I will supply a very snazzy colourized one that will be suitable for printing or even framing.
So what's with 00304659 and why is that number special? Please click here to find out! EDIT: Well, I got the number wrong by one digit. I'll fix it in the colour version.

That's the point when the Christy Clark government finally decided to have a say in the TMP after months of completely ignoring Kinder Morgan. I love how the project was estimated at $100 billion in 2012 and only $3.5 billion today. What a bargain Mr. Trudeau the Younger has managed to get for us!
