chatGBT is useless for this but considering all the dedging etc that has occured over the last 50 years, plus water levels rising an average of 2-3mm a year since 1970. I would be interested to compare water depth and the challenges of navigating the area now compared to when the tanker moratorium was put in in the 70s

Canada says that the ban extends all the way up to the border with the US.
Fly in the ointment.
The US and Canada disagree on the location of the border.
My reiver ancestors would perceive an opportunity there. When pursued by Canadians in disputed waters - Americans pro tem. When pursued by Americans in disputed waters - Canadian pro tem.
The locals add another wrinkle - in the absence of treaties then natives from land claimed by Canada can declare none of the above.
Check out the map about halfway down the article.

Eagle Spirit came up with a pair of routes.
Lax Kw'alaams through the disputed waters to the Ocean
Down the Portland Canal from Stewart, BC - Hyder, AK and then to the Ocean via disputed waters.
The Haida, having secured their land to the low water mark are still trying to claim the Dixon waters as theirs.
You couldn't tie up a tanker in Stewart or Hyder due to shallow water.
But, it seems to me, you could run a pipeline out to a buoy floating in deep water and create an offshore transfer station to fill tankers.

Federal Energy Minister Tim Hodgson says he has apologized to Coastal First Nations for what he says were a “poor choice of words” regarding a meeting he offered to have with the group on Friday.
Hodgson said he would meet with the alliance of nine First Nations, who are opposed to a bitumen pipeline to the northern B.C. coast, in the wake of Ottawa and Alberta signing an agreement which is meant to pave a path forward for such a project.
The minister brushed off concerns raised about the group’s president, Marilyn Slett, who said the timing and location of the proposed meeting meant she wouldn’t be able to attend in person.
“It’s called Zoom,” Hodgson said when asked about Slett’s concerns during a Thursday interview with CBC’s Power & Politics.

I guess I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer on this, but what’s the problem/issue?

His response was a tad snippy, but also there doesn't seem to be any information provided as to why the time and location wouldn't work for Marilyn Slett.
Like is it an accessibility issue or a prior commitment? Extreme detail isn't really needed but she could have at least provided some reason, and thus comes off looking very unserious towards the whole thing.
