Approve the Teck Mine. Teach Alberta the Law of Holes | The Tyee

It’s doubtful that oil will ever reach the $95-a-barrel price. Teck Resource’s mine could be just a pipe(line) dream.
Without that fanciful $95-a-barrel price, the Teck mine doesn’t create 7,000 construction jobs or generate $54 billion in royalties and taxes, or another $11.8 billion in federal corporate taxes over the 41-year life of the mine.
