According to the Calgary Herald, Scotiabank's recently released commodities report says that Enbridge Inc. could apply for federal approval this year to build an oil pipeline  from Edmonton to the new Kitimat LNG terminal on B.C's western coast (and an adjacent condensate line headed the other direction).

The project is opposed by some groups who fear oil spills, but plans seem to be moving ahead anyway. We guess they'll sort it out in court later on. According to the report, "The Northern Gateway Pipeline may begin the permitting process by filing with the National Energy Board by late 2009." Read more here.
