Kinder Morgan Inc.’s proposed expansion of an oil pipeline to Canada’s Pacific Coast will never happen because local opposition to the project that’s dividing the nation is only going to intensify, according to the mayor of Vancouver.

"I don’t think this project will go -- I really don’t -- based on the resistance on the ground," Gregor Robertson said in an interview Tuesday at Bloomberg’s headquarters in New York.
