Canada to Buy, Expand Trans Mountain Tar Sands Oil Pipeline
-----------------------------------------------------------

The Canadian government has announced plans to buy the Trans Mountain
pipeline, guaranteeing that its expansion will move forward despite
widespread concern about its environmental impact. First Nations and
environmental activists say the project will expand highly polluting
development in Alberta's tar sands region, while endangering communities
around an expanded export terminal near Vancouver.
