I doubt anything I say or do personally will actually stop a pipeline. I'm not
an expert so my views generally mean diddly squat at these forums but if by
some remote chance, I can at least influence the need to secure better data or
the need to bump up to reasonable insurance coverage to reflect the actual
economic risks, than I'm more than happy to do my part to help achieve
those objectives. The stronger "stop the pipe" sort
of arguments, I'll leave to the bona fide solicitors from Ecojustice,
Equiterre etc. but my arguments lends support to their efforts all
the better! <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
