If you want to see what is possibly the most dangerous “maritime cross roads” in Canada in terms of weather, geography, traffic, environmental impact, and all the rest:

I have annotated a map near Gill Island.

We don’t know the pipe route. If it’s Kitimat rather than Rupert because a route exists, this is where tankers would go.

Attached: 1 image @[email protected] @[email protected] yup. That is the major marine “cross roads”. We now have giant LNG Canada carriers moving through here to/from Kitimat (Carney’s MPO is set to double that) along with passenger ferries, cruise ships, fishing boats, commercial traffic/tugs, and private crafts. A very busy spot in a very remote and unforgiving place. Note the scale at the bottom left is just 2km.
