Rupert has a far superior harbour and approaches, best in the province, but it would mean running pipe down the Skeena ... Haro Straits and Juan de Fuca down south are tricky, bit crowded at times, but wide and deep in approaches, nothing like Douglas Channel I agree with your other post, there should ideally be pipe both east and west ... no serious proposal has been made for one west though, so far, and in putting one together, proponents might consider opening their minds to the fact that there really is major risk in the venture [edit] - bb.to - agree with teevee on the point that it would be insane to hand over Blackberry security to the chinese, not gonna happen, overwhelming national interest at stake
