There is a site called MarineTraffic.com and it shows ship traffic all over the world.

There are tankers going in and out of Van. Harbour on a regular basis and Cherry Point [usa]. How come no one is saying any thing about saving the Gulf islands??

Also there are tankers going to Kitimat and Rupert all the time be it tugs and barges or deep sea tankers. the Alaska tankers to Anacortes come surprisingly close to the west coat of Van Isle on the way south from Alaska.

This protest of "keep Tankers out of the North coast" is unwinnable... It's happening all the time... Has been close to a hundred years...

All we can do is regulate the hell out of them so it can be done as safely as possible... Still we all know accidents happen.
