Of course Eby is going to take an anti-pipeline stance. His province gets to take all the risk with what upside?
Alberta simply needs to make a deal with BC to loop them in on the win, then I think magically BC might be on board which makes sense. Smith should be saying we want this pipeline for the benefit of Canadians not staying silent on that part. Albertans (and oil companies / midstreamers that take over the line) are going to have to wrap their head around that.
It’s a wildly economic project. But more importantly, it will give us gigantic geopolitical leverage with the USA, which looks like it’s going to be important moving forward.
