# The Global Intelligence Files

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

it is Prince Rupert that is the gateway they're talking about. i'll send
here next a PR release I dug up, on plans for Prince Rupert port and
infrastructure.

yeah - that might be better for PR reasons
they'll need a mega-massive port expansion for that tho -- add in a
couple billion more

i think BC is actually building a new port/new infrastructure up in
the northern part of the province, Prince Rupert I believe.
I can try to get a bit of insight on this if I'm lucky.

while technically possible, going over the Canadian Rockies would be

im guessing that the price tag on this would easily go above $15b
(about triple what the current estimate is)
there's are very good reasons why all the crude goes south on flat
land to the midwest
so not impossible, but china would have to pony up for all of that
itself (its done stranger things for less, so who knows)
Vancouver as an oil supertanker port -- now THAT would do some
interesting things to Canada's view of China

China Invests in Canadian Oil-Export Project
* http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704747904576094513925922294.html?mod=WSJASIA_hps_LEFTTopWhatNews
By EDWARD WELSCH
CALGARY-China is helping to finance the development of a proposed
$5.51 billion dollar oil pipeline to Canada's West Coast that
would open the Asian market to Canadian crude, which is now
chiefly consumed by the U.S.
State-owned China Petroleum & Chemical Corp., or Sinopec, is among
a consortium of Canadian oil producers and Asian refiners
investing $100 million in Enbridge Inc.'s proposed Northern
Gateway pipeline, Enbridge Chief Executive Pat Daniel said during
a Web cast investor conference Thursday.
The Northern Gateway pipeline would pipe an average of 525,000
barrels of crude oil a day from Canada's oil-sands region to a
port in British Columbia, from which it would be shipped to Asian
markets. Regulators aren't expected to rule on whether the project
can go forward until next year. If approved, construction is
scheduled to be completed in 2016.
Canada's oil sands hold an estimated 170 billion barrels of oil,
making it the second-largest oil reserve in the world, after Saudi
Arabia's. The U.S. is the only export market for Canadian crude
oil, and Canada is the U.S.'s largest single supplier.
"We think it is hugely in Canada's national best interest to have
a second outlet for our crude oil," Mr. Daniel said, "...so that
we can become a price-maker with regard to crude-oil pricing,
instead of a price-taker."
Sinopec and other investors have put up $100 million to help
Northern Gateway get through the regulatory process, which
includes producing environmental-impact studies and consulting
with native and environmental groups-some of which oppose the
project.
Mr. Daniel said Enbridge itself has already spent $100 million on
the regulatory process. The Calgary-based pipeline company applied
for approval to build Northern Gateway in May, and expects
Canada's federal energy regulator to approve it by the middle of
2012.
Mr. Daniel said confidentiality agreements prohibited him from
naming the other investors, but said he could name Sinopec because
the news had been previously reported by Canadian newspaper the
National Post.
The proposal has met fierce criticism from native groups and
environmental nongovernmental organizations. Some warn of the risk
of spills from the pipeline or from oil tankers, while others are
chiefly opposed to further growth of the oil-sands industry, which
has come under fire for its substantial greenhouse-gas emissions
and fears of water contamination.
Mr. Daniel said he is confident Enbridge could win over
opposition. The company in November proposed giving a 10% equity
stake to native groups in an attempt to win them over, Daniel
said.
"That's been very well received and we're hoping to bring more
First Nations on side as a result of that," he said.
U.S.-listed shares of Enbridge closed down 39 cents at $55.32 on
the New York Stock Exchange Thursday.
