There's no way around it -- an oil spill is horrible news any time it happens. When a spill happens in the middle of a major pipeline project debate, it makes for an even stickier situation. Unfortunately for Canada, this is exactly what just happened. This past week, pipeline spills from Apache (APA 0.08%), Plains All American Pipeline (PAA -0.34%) and Kinder Morgan Energy Partners (NYSE: KMP) all made front page news with various spills across the country.
Even though the Kinder Morgan spill was about 12 barrels of oil, it could be worrisome, as political resistance is sure to ramp up for its Trans Mountain pipeline expansion. In this video, Fool.com contributors Tyler Crowe and Aimee Duffy take a look at what spills could mean for Kinder Morgan's expansion plans and other pipeline projects hoping to get built in Canada.
