Trump approves Canada-Wyoming oil pipeline that revives part of Keystone XL | Globalnews.ca

The pipeline, proposed by Canadian pipeline company South Bow and its U.S. partner Bridger Pipeline, could increase Canada's crude exports to the U.S. by more than 12 per cent.

Will be interesting to see if they can get the myriad of state and local permits for this one. Unlike in Canada, the USA federal permit doesn't just override intransigence from local governments (why TMX was eventually built but Keystone XL was not).

The nice thing for us Canadians is SouthBow doesn't have to do at lot on the Canadian side, a lot of that work is already done. They can leave it to the Americans. If they get it done, great, if not, nothing's lost on our end.

Much of the local opposition was stirred up my NGOs. The recent judgement against Greenpeace and it's potential bankruptcy filing will likley clear the path

What? The Canadian portion is done, has been done for years. If anything approval issues have been on the US side, that it's taken over a decade of start and pause, and so on.

I mean in general. How about a fully approved pipeline to the west coast completely insulted from legal challenges by the end of the year? Carney passed C5 and it it time to demonstrate why the federal government exists for a change.

A lot of work has been done on the Canadian side, but still more to do. Definitely would be far quicker than doing from scratch, and can be done before the next election.

The Hardisty (start of the pipeline) end is done, and about 150 kms of pipeline downstream and depending on who you talk to, possibly a 100 or so kms from the border towards Hardisty. The section in between would have to be done, but it's 'roughed in' so to speak.
 
Hey guys, this is a bit of an off-topic question couldn't really find which thread to post it in but anyways, I just recently graduated university with a degree in Computer Science (literally a week ago from UBC) and am starting the process of finding a job in my field. Obviously I have a passion for Infrastructure, urbanism, city building, etc. and was wondering if you guys know of any career paths that can relate my degree to the topics discussed in this forum?

I'm not explicitly looking for any job offers obviously, just kind of some ideas of where my degree can actually take me in this specific niche. I did some research, however actual human guidance is always preferred especially if someone has been in the same situation!

Thanks guys.
