Description: This article from Business in Vancouver reports on the subdued launch of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, Canada’s largest oil pipeline project in over a decade. Despite its completion, the project faced years of delays, cost overruns, and environmental opposition. The expansion increases the pipeline’s capacity significantly, aiming to facilitate oil exports to international markets. However, the opening lacked fanfare, reflecting the contentious nature of the project and ongoing debates over fossil fuel infrastructure.
