Canada likes to ship its oil out that way, esp to Asia.
Pipelines from Alberta to BC are a political minefield but buying real-estate and then waiting for the politics to “blow-over” is apparently a thing that happens a lot.
- cgh 4y agoIf you're referring to Northern Gateway, it was planned to terminate in Kitimat, which is not a ghost town. However, tanker traffic off the BC north coast was banned, which effectively killed it. If you're referring to Trans Mountain, that pipeline upgrade/expansion terminates in Burnaby, which is a suburb of Vancouver. For other interesting company-owned ghost towns on the coast, see also Anyox and Ocean Falls. Anyox is relatively close to Kitsault and is worth reading about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anyox https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anyox There's also Stewart, which is north of these and which has quite a storied mining history that's still being written (the "Golden Triangle" of BC).
