"A Guide to British Columbia's Liquefied Natural Gas Sector: LNG 101" with a chaser of the 405 movie.

We did a Post back in April of 2014 on the background to  A Guide to British Columbia's Liquefied Natural Gas Sector:  LNG 101  with this screen shot from Premier Christy Clark:  A Promise Made in 2013 is A Promise that can be broken in 2017.  LNG is Toast

While researching the original material we came across an anomaly, something that just doesn't happen, so says the BC Liberal Government soothsayer Ben James when it comes to mixing government politics with personal politics.  It just doesn't happen.

The topic was Engage BC LNG 101 =  "Basic introduction" for the simpletons

Engage BC LNG 101

The GCPE (Government Communications & Public Engagement) people who work for the Premier's Office had some extra times on their hands in 2007 and up until 2013 with Brian Bonney time sharing 50/50 thingy ruined it just before the 2013 election.  50 from the BC Liberal Party funds / 50 from British Columbia tax payers.

The Proof?

At precisely the same time that the GCPE (George Gretes not included, he was still in detention at school) were writing the LNG 101 brochure, they had their feet up on their desks, with popcorn in hand  ..... and watching  the movie 405

It only took three minutes to see it, but the GCPE being a large body of people $$$$ .... watched it twenty-one more times

British Columbia's promised forecast Bottom Line on LNG production doesn't take effect until

Rich Coleman's double hump projection of wells drilled didn't exist when his document was created, during an election year, and coincidentally never happened in reality of another election year.  The BC Liberals continue to use the same data 'proving' how much LNG revenue will impact the bottom line for British Columbians by eliminating the current Debt.

If that were true of the benefits of exporting LNG then EVERY country, province, state in the world  ... selling LNG are already, or will soon to be, debt free, long before British Columbia.

Why hasn't that kind of data, a comparison of British Columbia 'what if' failures to other entities 'success' stories, been provided by the BC Liberals?

We're in for another election in May, where's the proof of the Coleman's Forecast Scenario projection or for that matter, the completion of five projects producing/exporting by 2020 with 75% coming from north east British Columbia?

Page 1 of 5

Third paragraph from page 1 above

The Forecast Scenario is based on the assumption of five (5) new LNG plants on the west coast exporting 82 Megatonnes per year of LNG by 2020.  The amount of natural gas necessary to produce this amount of LNG would be 11.6 billion cubic feet per day (BCF/D) of marketable gas, or 15 BCF/D of raw gas.  This Forecast assumes 75 per cent of this gas will come from northeast B.C.

LNG Forecast Scenario - BC Oil and Gas Commission

Page 2 of 5

Bottom Line of information from page 2 above

There are currently more than 23,000 wells drilled in British Columbia.

In 2013 (election year), 565 wells were drilled and the province produced and average of 4.25 BDF/D of raw gas, or 3.75 BCF/D of marketable gas.

Data in the chart represents all wells drilled.  Natural gas wells account for approximately 90-95 per cent of all drilling activity  in the province.

By 2020 natural gas production will plateau at 11.6 BCF/D to supply the new LNG export market.

The majority of gas for LNG will come from the Horn River and Montney basins.  The speed of development in each basin is dependent upon the order in which LNG projects come into service.

 Fake News!

What Next?

New York Times exposing British Columbia's Health Minister sending the 8 organs per person multiplied by 914 fentanyl death overdoses to the land fill instead of saving ..... lives ...

One organ donor can save up to eight lives. The same donor can also save or improve the lives of up to 50 people by donating tissues and eyes. More than 120,000 people in the United States are waiting for organ transplants. [Solid Organs: Hearts, kidneys, pancreases, lungs, livers and intestines].

In the local north shore news   View from The Ledge - Keith Baldrey quotes local British Columbia's coroner and medical officer on THEIR view from the death ledge by including the silver lining happening in New Hampshire:

“I don’t know of any jurisdiction that has the resources to be able to provide treatment on demand,” she said, noting that 18 U.S. states had higher drug overdose rates than did B.C. “If you look at New Hampshire, for instance, they saw a 1,100 per cent increase in organ donations mostly because of drug overdoses. This is how hard this is hitting North America and we’re not alone.” 

It only took Premier Christy Clark five years to realize that the optics of accepting a 'bribe' to cover her $50,000 expenses per year, while working on her Party's re-election winning chances in May, wasn't the greatest idea on her part, especially when one considers that it was the Leader of the BC Liberal Party that provided it......  Christy Clark (Leader).

We've just heard from a Tipster that the BC Liberal Party will announce between now and the May election that government has saved more lives than New Hampshire did in one year, and the patients will be voting in support of Christy.

Failure behaviour of landslides in clay and silt:                                                   Top

Two large landslides in overconsolidated glacio-lacustrine clay and silt deposits of British Columbia river valleys have been examined.  Both cases are quite similar in their main aspects.  However, their failure behaviour was very different.  One continues to exhibit intermittent, manly ductile deformations with limited mobility, which are typical of compound landslides in stiff clay.  The other suddenly developed into a catastrophic, extremely rapid flow slide of 6.4 Mm3, damming a large river in the course of a few minutes and projecting a wave onto the opposite bank.  A comparison of the two cases has been made and possible mechanisms for brittle flow slide formation have been proposed (Fletcher et al., in review).

BC Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick 2016 body paint publicity stunt? an Apple Orchard. 2017? Bull - SHIT

We haven't found an image of a Cow doing this to a bear, but it is symbolic of how the BC Liberal government's Members of the Legislative Assembly treat taxpayers by their spending far too much time raising their funds while mixing it with official duties where they just happen to be in the same town on their days off of Saturday and Sunday.  

China - Trade Mission with BC

MLA Norm Letnick as an apple orchard last year

Can you spot the bad apple?

BC Liberal Government model is NOT a no-name stock photo, its MLA Letnick

Why, oh why did Letnick handlers place him at the public trough?  Was it because the 25% tax credit can be passed onto the BC Liberals from farmers.......? 

The credit is worth up to 25% of the fair-market value of the qualifying agricultural product and must be claimed in the same year that a charitable-and-other-gifts tax credit for individuals or deduction is claimed for the donation by a corporation. The farmers’ food donation tax credit is in addition to the charitable-and-other-gifts credit or the deduction.

This year, after snubbing the Abbotsford Pacific Agriculture Show  to spend his time raising funds for his Premier's riding in Kelowna, he has since backtracked (Mike Smyth) (Vaughn Palmer).  Palmer has suggested that the Minister should be body painted as a Turkey, we disagree, there is better choice, one that is more represented of them.  (Norm Letnick's Calendar 2016 of meetings and phone calls)

Provincial elections has taken the candidates our from  appearing in public to defend what he/she would do if the Constituents gave them a majority of votes whereby the BC Liberals $12 Million dollar war chest is used to elect the party, no matter the quality of the Candidate.

WE would rather have the North Vancouver - Lonsdale riding, currently held by Naomi Yamamoto, spend ALL of her time, after the Writ has been dropped, IN the riding, talking to ALL of her constituents rather sitting back on her haunches and letting the BC Liberal Team bombarding blanket advertising.

Two or three All Candidates meetings is not enough to be able to reach out to the public.  A school gymnasium is not a venue by which all questions can be asked, nor questions answered.

Why is it that when a constituent contacts the MLA by email for help, the MLA then sends out regular updates on what the BC Liberal Party is up to?  Why should there even be an Unsubscribe when there was NEVER a Subscribe mentioned?

Origins and Rationale for Construction of the Trans Mountain Pipeline

Section Summary:

Between February 4, 1952 and October 17, 1953, Trans Mountain Oil Pipeline Company constructed a long-distance oil pipeline from Edmonton, Alberta to Burnaby, BC and parts of Washington

The original purpose of the pipeline was to create markets (both domestic and foreign) for newly discovered crude oil resources in Alberta following the discoveries at Leduc in 1947

All parties involved in the decision to approve the construction of the Trans Mountain pipeline envisioned the pipeline serving the economic interests of BC by supplying the province with  CHEAP, accessible oil

Trans Mountain also envisioned the pipeline serving a strategic defence purpose in the event of war with the Soviet Union

The Board of Transport Commissioners approved the pipeline proposal following three days of hearings

The original pipeline approval process did not involve public consultation nor did it involve environmental assessment

BC Liberals Site C Dam: 'Escalation of commitment' and 'sunk cost fallacy’ policies

Its almost as if blogger ferrebeekeeper  is a British Columbian

Escalation of commitment refers to a behavioral phenomenon whereby a group of people who have embarked upon a decision which is producing increasingly negative outcomes continue forward with their course of action despite the accumulating evidence of bad results.  This sounds ridiculous, but it is a very frequent pattern in human behavior.  It is worth casting our minds back 100 years to 1917 when the First World War ground into its 3^rd year despite the deaths of millions of combatants on both sides. In economics, a very similar situation is described as the “sunk cost fallacy’: throwing away more and more resources because the idea of losing the time and money already invested is too painful to bear.  .....................

The Sunk Cost Fallacy. The Misconception: You make rational decisions based on the future value of objects (BC Hydro Site C), investments and experiences. The Truth: Your decisions are tainted by the emotional investments you accumulate, and the more you invest in something the harder it becomes to abandon it.

An example of 'accumulation' here in British Columbia is the way in which the BC Liberals have nailed down the category of ever increasing DEBT and still maintaining that they've balanced their Budget for four straight years....   and still they reward their Minister$$ for keeping the numbers below, or balanced by simply having presented an over inflated Budget.

The Tyee:

British Columbia's debt reached a new record high $60.693 billion on March 31 and contractual obligations are nearing $100 billion.

Long-term lease agreement with British Columbia Railway Company will revitalize port facility

NORTH VANCOUVER, BC, April 3 /CNW/ - The British Columbia Railway Company(BCRC) announced today that it has entered into an agreement with Kinder Morgan Canada Terminals ULC (KMCT) regarding a long-term lease to operate Vancouver Wharves, its bulk marine terminal in North Vancouver and the purchase the terminal assets, which include on site rail infrastructure, dry bulk and liquid storage, and material handling systems.

The 40-year lease agreement will see Kinder Morgan make much needed capital investments to revitalize Vancouver Wharves while retaining ownership of the underlying real estate on which the facility operates.

"This agreement will bring new investment and opportunities to Vancouver Wharves and its customers and will secure its future as an integral port facility for British Columbia", said Kevin Mahoney, BCRC President and CEO.

"After a rigorous selection process that included input from many of our customers, employees and other key stakeholders, BCRC has chosen to enter into a long term lease agreement with Kinder Morgan that will bring real benefits to our customers, our employees, our community and our province."
