   eg:  The oil companies operating the tarsands in Alberta - most of which   
   are foreign-owned;   
      
   The Harper government, which could start putting taxes on still more oil   
   exports from Canada;   
      
   and of course, the Chinese, who would be not only owners of a large oil   
   company in the tarsands, but extractors of this resource from Canada   
   using the pristine west coast for its oil tankers.   
      
   You BET there are 'far more people who would benefit from such pipeline.'   
      
   Problems is:  far more people don't care about the oil companies, the   
   Harper government's need for tax revenue, and the Chinese.
