Interested in buying an inter-provincial oil pipeline?

A Craiglist user listed the Trans Mountain pipeline for sale this week on an Ottawa-region page, before the federal government announced it will buy the controversial project for $4.5 billion.

Finance Minister Bill Morneau said the government intends to sell the pipeline to a private company in the future.

鈥淔or sale: one pipeline project, in fair condition. Comes with federal approval. (Subject to 15 legal challenges, but it鈥檒l be fine). Also comes with a vintage 1950s pipeline,鈥� .

鈥淣estled in a cosy right of way, with mountain, river and ocean views, and through prime agricultural and dense residential real estate in Vancouver鈥檚 red-hot housing market!

The seller is asking for $9-billion CAD, or best offer, saying to contact them and 鈥渁sk for Justin.鈥�
