Listened to @AJWVictoriaBC on the @CBCStephenQuinn and the number of errors he made was stunning. Alberta oils aren't even the dirtiest oil in North America that comes from California (Placerita oil field). The dirtiest oil in world is Nigerian (Bass oil field) #bcpoli #abpoli 1/

He keeps harping back to the RSC report but it is almost as if he hasn't read that report because it doesn't say what he keeps claiming it does achemistinlangley.net/2018/02/09/on-… #bcpoli #abpoli 2/

He keeps claiming that diluted bitumen is "not oil". That is simply wrong. Certainty bitumen is an unconventional oil but by every definition under the sun it is a type of crude oil. I'm not sure why he keeps making such a demonstrably wrong statement. #bcpoli #abpoli 3/

I will admit he likes to add qualifiers like how he talks about sediments in water but the Burrard Inlet is known to be low in sediment as is virtually all of the Salish Sea. The only area of significant sediment is in the direct plume of the Fraser River #bcpoli #abpoli 4/

His argument that there is "no reward for Canada" is also demonstrably wrong. The oil patch contributes to our tax revenue and the people in the patch also do so. This should not be a surprise to a Canadian politician #bcpoli #abpoli 5/

He talks electrification after repeatedly fighting the development of our electrical resources necessary to get our province off fossil fuels achemistinlangley.net/2015/04/08/sta… #bcpoli #abpoli 6/

That was a typo...Brass field
