I wonder when he'll figure out that you have to make money somehow to pay for all the lovely social initiatives he has...and that lovely debt he managed to accumulate in record time.
A pipeline to the coast would...shockingly, create more tax revenue. But I guess that's too hard for him to figure out.

Spoken like a true 'Berta ditchbilly.
To recap: Eby is talking about how Smith already has a pipeline, how that pipeline is under capacity and how there is room to optimize the capacity of it before demanding ANOTHER pipeline.
At the same time he is promoting LNG projects that are real and established and points to the fact that Smith is interfering with these real projects and putting billions of dollars of investment at risk. I don't know how LNG is moved... is it a pipeline to the coast??!?
Unlike Smith, Eby sounds like a Premier who is protecting the real interests of his province and industries and is backing up his stance with facts. He is also pointing out that Alberta has just received a free pipeline at the huge expense of taxpayer dollars and that if there are more taxpayer dollars up for grabs, he and the other Premiers have projects that should be considered ahead of another Alberta pipeline.
If you really want to boil the message down, it would be: Alberta should appreciate what they have and wait their turn before sticking their hand out again for free mega projects.
