The refinery would never be built in Moncton, because Irving does not have Moncton by the balls, as it does for Saint John. Sorry to say it but its true, they can basically do whatever they want in that city and get away with it, I reference the LNG terminal land tax fiasco, and also the massive natural gas pipeline proposed to be built from it, which intends to run right through downtown! but did the SJ government put up a fight? no, not after Irving bribed them with a little money. We see examples of this all the time and its really sad.
