East and West, Alberta’s pipeline ambitions face pushback

British Columbia Premier David Eby is escalating his attacks on Alberta’s proposal for a new oil pipeline to the West Coast, describing the project touted by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith as fictional, non-existent and fantasy.

Mr. Eby released a video on Monday on social media in which he warned that Alberta’s plan to front a pipeline application to Prime Minister Mark Carney’s new Major Projects Office will jeopardize billions of dollars in private-sector investments in B.C.
