Sir John A. Macdonalds Canadian Pacific Railway

Sir John A. Macdonalds Canadian Pacific Railway: As national dreams go, its not exactly on par with Sir John A. Macdonalds Canadian Pacific Railway. For one, 70 per cent of the pipeline is already in the ground in the form of TransCanadas existing Alberta-to-Ontario natural gas pipeline, which will be converted to accept oil. , according to Times Colonist. But to be fair, there is a glimmer of nation-building to a pipeline project that will, if approved, ship western oil to refineries in Montreal, Quebec City and Saint John, especially when you consider how happy New Brunswick Premier David Alward is with a project that will give a huge boost to his provinces petrochemical industry. Alberta Premier Alison Redford is engaging in more than a little political rhetoric when she says the proposed Energy East pipeline project to transport Alberta oil to Eastern Canada is truly a nation-building project. For another, laying pipe to New Brunswick lacks the drama of blasting a railway through the Rockies. And when its done, nobody will be driving a last spike through the pipeline. At least, I hope not.
