There are (0) commercial ports on West Coast ofry Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) supertankers.Because fully loaded VLCCs draw 20 to 23 meters of water, no active dock on the Pacific coast has the combined depth and oil terminal infrastructure to service them directly.

[Adam Stirling 11am-3pm Weekdays @Adam_Stirling]

Do all of you know how many fully laden VLCC Supertanker ports there are right now on the Pacific Coast of North America?

A VLCC fully laden carries 2,000,000 barrels of oil. They're too big to go through the Panama Canal -- way too big.

Canada announced something today that is far more significant in terms of global oil tanker traffic than I think most observers realize...

@RogersHelps wanna know when i leave because your service is poor and you tel system does not offer better extra services, like call control?

[David Biltek @DBiltek]

Hey @Rogers ...service is appalling, been on hold now for 1 hour and 42 minutes...may have to call @TELUS in the morning

[David Biltek @DBiltek]

@RogersHelps I spoke with online tech, took 1 hr. 45 minutes on hold, he suggested some steps, said he would call in 15mins , he did not call back, next AM spoke to a woman who suggested switching cable ends, damn near twisted myself into a pretzel working behind TV, but that may have worked.

[David Biltek @DBiltek]

@RogersHelps the TV was blacking out, we would reboot the Xi6 box, the tv would work again and then black out 15 minutes later, we would repeat and same thing would happen, 10 to 20 mins later again tv to black...tech is meant to arrive today

[David Biltek @DBiltek]

such nonsense, the shopping experience does not depend on parking, it starts and stops with the Right Goods and Right Services, people will shop downtown for those goods and services...there are no art galleries at the malls, or the range of specialty store...unmatched in dwtwn

[Thomas Cowan @koicows]

Downtown’s closest competitors largely offer free or easier parking. That difference is REAL. When visitors and locals can park once and walk between shops and restaurants without hunting for meters or paying premium rates, they spend more time and money in those areas instead.

@marissenmark you have been saying for many months that the largest voting block in BC are the Carney Liberal voters who now have no natural "home", nowhere they feel comfortable...I am one of those

[Mark Marissen @marissenmark]

@vancolour If the opportunity opens up, people will come out of the woodwork.

There could also be a pipeline from Montney Formation area to Port Churchill, providing faster more direct shipping to Germany, and rest of Europe

[Francesco Sassi @Frank_Stones]

A historic shift in Pacific LNG: Germany’s SEFE and Canada’s Ksi Lisims have signed a 20-year, 1 mtpa supply deal.

Pushed by Chancellor Merz and PM Carney, Berlin is actively looking to diversify away from its massive overreliance on a highly volatile Washington.🇨🇦🇩🇪🇺🇸

[David Biltek @DBiltek]

absolutely!.....why would big money go to province which is actively considering separation, and even the premier cannot bring herself to publicly oppose the separatists

[Scott Robertson @sarobertson_]

Carlene Variyan: "You want to attract a proponent to bankroll a $50B pipeline, and you're asking people to take a look at the province of Alberta, and this is what they're seeing in the news. Who's putting their money into this province?"

[David Biltek @DBiltek]

@WestJet this response from a loyal customer is an appalling example of poor service https://t.co/6viFZr6QaH is Right!, a Platinum member should be helped, not referred. I am a former Platinum, now gold member and have been for some time and watch this poor service all the time

[WestJet @WestJet]

@bytheglassusa We’re sorry to hear this has been your experience. As a Platinum member, you do have access to a dedicated Platinum support line for assistance with Rewards and account concerns. Please give them a call for assistance.

[David Biltek @DBiltek]

yes @david_parker ...IF is about Virtue and Integrity, both of which were missing when you and your team obtained by underhanded means the list of Alberta Electors...and then shared with your Centurions no virtue there, or integrity

[David Parker @david_parker]

My Mom had me memorize the poem "If" by Rudyard Kipling for a poetry recital when I was a child. I'm glad she did. It has served me well.

[David Biltek @DBiltek]

@kinsellawarren always stay at the Kensington Riverside, a small, about 24 rooms, hotel in cool Kensington...just outside of downtown, quiet, wonderful art fills the walls, and sculptures...i am not a "local" but visit often

If they refuse us the democratic option, there is only one option left. They should leave the democratic option open.

Steph just told me the first movie SHE remembers was The Little Mermaid.

Both came out in the same year!

What's the first movie YOU remember? 🍿🎬

[David Biltek @DBiltek]

Hey @RobShaw_BC understand there is a BC properity Group formed, in Campbell river, name is similar to the Alberta Properity project....one of the separatist groups...sickness is catchy

[David Biltek @DBiltek]

They in fact are....it is not just Trump, he is but a noisome symptom of the American state, of their society, of their much lauded but unable system of government...the fact that Americans elected this man, and continue to let him do what he will -it is Americans that allow this

Jivani just shot his own foot, lost all leadership possibilities, and has incurred the quiet wrath of PP and his fellow CON MPs...imagine calling our response to The Trump Presidency a "hissy fit" not fit for leadership, maybe not fit for the CONS

[Spencer Fernando @SpencerFernando]

Jivani sides with Trump over Canada

You are now seeing the pattern with Jivani’s comments. He never acknowledges where Canadians’ anger towards the Trump Administration comes from. He never acknowledges Trump’s annexation threats, ever-changing demands, and deliberate effort to inflict economic pain on Canadians to force us to give up our sovereignty. Jivani pretends none of that exists, and then acts as if Canadians are angry for some sort of unknowable irrational reason.

Jivani also ignores that Canada was engaged in good-faith talks with the U.S., which were then ended when Trump got angry about a mild TV ad that simply repeated the pro-trade comments of former U.S. President Ronald Reagan. Notably, Jivani ignores this while also ignoring real interference – the Trump Administration meeting with those trying to make Alberta separate from Canada. By ignoring all of this, and by blaming Canadians and our Prime Minister for Trump’s actions, Jivani has effectively chosen to side with the Trump Administration rather than with Canada and the Canadian People.

[David Biltek @DBiltek]

Guess who just shot himself in the foot, ruined any Leadership aspirations he had and no doubt has incurred the wrath of PP and many of his more moderate CON Colleagues...https://t.co/7woaWzIC5k

[David Biltek @DBiltek]

@david_parker you forget about our now impoverished Heritage Trust Fund, if we had followed Peter Lougheed's policies in that regard we would be far wealthier than the Norwegians, but successive CON premiers, like Klein spent the HF like drunken cowboys at the end of calving season

[David Parker @david_parker]

Alberta has the same population as Norway, but we are much poorer, despite having way more natural resources than Norway, because we are tax slaves for Ottawa.
