The Terry Project Podcast #17: BARtalk, pipelines edition.
On this special episode of our podcast, we divert from our usual formula to play highlights from November 15th’s BARtalk on pipelines.
What is BARtalk?
BARtalk is presented by the Alma Mater Society and the Terry Project. Hosted monthly in the Gallery Lounge, this informal speaker series brings you UBC’s leading faculty, students, and alumni speaking to the most important issues of the day. All events feature short remarks from our panel members, and then open up to an informal Q&A session.

What are the social, economic, and ecological impacts of proposed pipeline developments like the the Northern Gateway Pipelines and the expansion of the Transcanada Pipeline? More broadly, should Canada exploit the Alberta oil sands? And what’s in store for the future of our economy?
