Energy East discussions fruitful

Tracks reopen in Lake Louise after car dangles over river

THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY - Alberta Premier Jim Prentice is scheduled to meet with his Ontario and Quebec counterparts this week to lobby for support of the Energy East pipeline. A spokeswoman says Prentice is to meet Quebec’s Philippe Couillard on Tuesday and Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne on Wednesday. Both eastern premiers have a list of demands about the proposal. They want contingency plans and emergency response programs in place, consultations with First Nations and consideration of environmental impact and greenhouse gas emissions. Wynne said she reached out to Prentice last week so he understood the principles that Ontario and Quebec want considered in the approval process for the proposed $12-billion pipeline, which would carry more than one million barrels of western crude daily from Alberta and Saskatchewan to oil refineries in Eastern Canada. After chatting with Wynne on the phone, Prentice intends to press his position in person, he said Friday. “I start from a position that these are two premiers with whom we can do business. Two premiers who are interested in building the Canadian

Pipeline spills 60,000 into muskeg RED EARTH CREEK, Alta. - The Alberta Energy Regulator says close to 60,000 litres of crude oil have spilled into muskeg in the province’s north. An incident report by the regulator states that a mechanical failure was reported Thursday at a Canadian Natural Resources Limited (TSX:CNQ) pipeline approximately 27 kilometres

federation and who have put out, what they’ve put out, in an attempt to be constructive. That’s the view I will take going into these meetings,” said Prentice, who called Energy East a “nationbuilding” project. “The port facilities associated with that project are not going to be in Alberta. They’re going to be elsewhere in Canada. And the turbines that are sourced for that project will be certainly fabricated in the province of Ontario - not in Alberta - so this is a Canadian project with benefits for all of us as Canadians. We need to remain focused on that.” TransCanada Corp. (TSX:TRP) has filed an application to use a repurposed gas pipeline to carry crude twothirds of the way across the country and to build a pipeline extension that would lead to Saint John, N.B. The Saskatchewan legislature passed a motion last week calling on Ontario and Quebec to recognize the National Energy Board as the appropriate body to review the proposal and to remove unnecessary barriers to the pipeline. Prentice said he has read with interest the principles Ontario and Quebec have put forward if they are to support the project. “Most of them actually are encompassed within the jurisdiction of the National Energy Board.” north of Red Earth Creek. The report says there are no reports of impact to wildlife and that a cleanup has begun. Red Earth Creek is over 350 kilometres northwest of Edmonton. Carrie Rosa, a spokeswoman for the regulator, says officials have been delayed reaching the scene due to poor weather in the last few days. No one from Canadian Natural Resources could be reached on Saturday for comment.

LAKE LOUISE, Alta. - A train derailment in downtown Lake Louise, Alta., left a rail car hanging over the edge of a bridge across the Pipestone River on Saturday. RCMP say all five of the cars on the Canadian Pacific train that left the track early Saturday morning were empty and that no chemicals were spilled. There were no reports of injuries. Railway spokeswoman Breanne Feigel says the derailed cars last con-

tained sulphur. Feigel says there’s no word yet on what caused the train to derail. She says the derailment has been cleared and the track is now open. “We take all incidents like this quite seriously,” Feigel said, noting that police, transportation officials and Parks Canada staff were all notified. Police say the incident happened while the train was moving slowly past a transfer station. They say a mechanical issue with one of the cars is thought to have caused the derailment, and that there was no indication of criminal activity.
