This "pipeline" is killed, Smith keeps pushing the "Canada is broken" narrative, her rube base eats it up, and down the road somewhere the US comes to "liberate" Alberta from the tyrannical Canadian government who won't approve any projects.

It could be an attempt to widen support for separation outside of her base, who are mostly on board already. This could be her saying “Look, I made an honest effort to work with Canada and they refused”
