People from all over Metro Vancouver attended a town hall in Burnaby opposing local pipeline expansion. They're concerned over potential damage to their homes and disruption to their day to day lives.
"There's nothing in this for Burnaby except potential damage."
The possibility of Kinder Morgan expanding an existing pipeline across Burnaby, Abbotsford and Langley has not just Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan upset. Those who attended the packed townhall, like Burnaby resident Hanne Syne, says it's not a simple issue, but she's against it, "I like people to have jobs, for sure, but I also feel like a lot of jobs are being taken away because it's not even refined oil before it's shipped out."
Hundreds of people were in attendance. Some expressed their disappointment the meeting seemed to be one-sided without Kinder Morgan representatives present.
