From Walker Brown (a comment on another post): Earlier today, Haida Council President Peter Lantin told the CBC the coast guard was unprepared for an incident like this, and that promises of world class oil tanker safety were not to be believed. Around 225 large oil tankers would go through the waters near Haida Gwaii if Northern Gateway, a bitumen pipeline proposed by Enbridge, were to be built. Theres nothing world class about it. The fact that 20 hours is the earliest estimated time of arrival for anybody just reinforces what we have been saying all along, Lantin said. The systems in place are not adequate, and its a joke. Its a joke to think they cold ramp up the amount of tankers through our territory and convince us that theres world class systems in place to respond. Were scared...Its the worst scenario possible.
