Keep pipeline above river

-

Re: Ontario to begin pipeline discussion­s, Nov. 14.

I read with horror that the proposed tarsands oil is to be piped under the Rideau River. This is madness, out-of-sight, out-of-mind. The pipe should go over the river for the following reasons: cost, it’s much cheaper than tunnelling under the river; it’s easier to get at if/when the pipe fails; and, quicker to notice a leak, than hidden under the river bed.
