While reading the Sept. 24 edition of the Bangor Daily News I saw on the Business page a picture headlined “For the girls,” with the caption of a 604-foot Hong Kong oil tanker offloading its cargo of oil at Portland Harbor, Maine in which the oil will then travel via pipeline to Canada. How ironic is this situation? Is this the same Canada that won’t allow LNG tankers through Head Harbor Passage to get LNG to proposed terminals in Down East Maine? Does anybody but me understand how ludicrous this is? I say let the Canadians receive their oil in their own waters, at their own ports, and through their own pipelines, especially if they maintain their opposition to LNG passage through their waters to get to a U.S. port. What’s fair is fair.
