The Kinder Morgan Pipeline is listed for 'sale' on Craigslist for $9 billion
The Kinder Morgan pipeline is up for sale on Craigslist, and it can be yours for just $9 billion.
But before you get excited about owning your very own pipeline, the ad for the “stalled and collapsing pipeline project” is clearly a joke.
But the post does throw some obvious shade at the current political climate surrounding the project, formally known as the Trans Mountain Pipeline, which has caused a load of controversy between BC, Alberta and the federal government.
“For sale: one pipeline project, in fair condition. Comes with federal approval. (subject to 15 legal challenges, but it’ll be fine). Also comes with a vintage 1950s pipeline,” reads the ad.
“The vintage pipeline is a handyman’s dream project. It has been in place since the 1950s and has only had around 70 spills – a great fixer upper.”
The pipeline comes with “mountain, river and ocean views” and passes “through prime agricultural and dense residential real estate in Vancouver’s red-hot housing market.”
If you’re interested in purchasing the pipeline, the ad says to contact some guy named ‘Justin’ (Hint: his last name is probably Trudeau).
It’s unclear who was behind the ad’s posting, but it was tweeted out by an organization called Coast Protectors.
Uh oh, someone’s getting desperate! 😉 #CrumblingPipeline4Sale https://t.co/7baMfiWhyT#stopkm #cdnpoli #bcpoli #protecttheinlet #waterislife pic.twitter.com/0u5tqsBc0s

According to the group’s Twitter description, it is doing “whatever it takes” to stop the Kinder Morgan pipeline project.
