B.C. Premier David Eby made it clear on Thursday that if a pipeline is built from Alberta to B.C.’s coast, the provincial government will not fight that decision.
“This agreement doesn’t require us to support any pipeline proposal from Alberta, Eby said.
“However, as I’ve said before, we recognize our constitutional position and we do not have the authority to stop a new pipeline. We will not be going to court to fight a pipeline project. Instead, we will ensure we will fulfill our constitutional obligations in good faith. Pipelines are federal jurisdiction.

“That’s why this agreement matters; it ensures that the Northern Tanker Ban stays in place.”
Previously, Eby and Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that the federal government would protect and “fully” maintain a ban on oil tankers off the coast of northern British Columbia.
This was part of an agreement where B.C. will also receive new funding for “critical infrastructure, resource projects, clean energy.”
In a statement following the announcement, Marilyn Slett, President of the Coastal First Nations – Great Bear Initiative and elected Chief of the Heiltsuk Nation, called Thursday a good day.
“We applaud BC Premier David Eby for his leadership in upholding the oil tanker ban and we thank Prime Minister Carney for recognizing the importance of our coast,” she said.
“British Columbians, Canadians and the First Nations who call this place home want this region to remain protected. There is no technology that can clean up an oil spill at sea, and a single oil spill could destroy our way of life. We remain steadfast in our position that oil tankers will never be part of our vision for a healthy, productive and sustainable North Coast.”

Alberta separatist – Good one 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why is that every Alberta separatist is a homosexual ped0phile?
Because they’re a Christian
Of course i’m comparing my IQ to my co-workers, one of whom is legally ret arded. But i’m still pretty good at 85, for a j izz mopper at McDonald’s. Speaking of j izz, my half-chug boyfrioend will be here any minute now to fill my azz so full of the white stuff.
You can’t even compete with me. You’re not even on the same level as me you little bltch. My IQ is so much higher than yours hey Jeff Musk. Anyways have fun jerking off to child porn you ugly pile of white trash. Too funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Unfortunately we can’t separate from Canada because the First Nations people in Alberta are clearly way smarter than us and took us to court… and of course we lost. Now we’re going to try to do everything illegally which proves that we’re a bunch of lawless thieves just like the white settlers that first came to Alberta. Alberta Strong! Alberta Proud!
Being a child molester is just part of being a white nationalist.. I mean Alberta separatist. It’s just who are. It’s all about the freedumb to be who we want to be. Alberta Strong! Alberta Proud!
I also have Multiple Personality Disorder, and all my perosnalities are gay as f *uck too. So Vancouver is the bomb.
I get lots of anal sex through chugs here in BC, which is honestly the real reason why I say BC, and specifically greater Vancouver/Downtown Eastside, is the best. I have issues with STD’s, but for the most part, I have access to all the needed meds and creams/ointments. And I get a lot of walk-in sex customers at McDonald’s. The stalls work well for those. Alberta is the superier province to live in, but there just isn’t enough gay men there, especially chugs, to properly fill my appetite.
I used to work at the oilsands in Fort McMurray but then I was laid off. I went on welfare for awhile but then I was arrested for sharing child porn online with my fellow white nationalist buddies in Alberta. I went to prison for years but now I’m out and I’ve turned to Jesus Christ to repent all of my sins. Is anyone interested in hiring a white nationalist ped0phile? Oh and I forgot to say ALBERTA PROUD!!
JV is right Alberta is pretty bad. Like most Albertans I claim that I make more money than the rest of the country but if that were true I wouldn’t be stuck living here. I’d move somewhere nice like Vancouver but unfortunately Vancouver and most of BC is out of my price range
It’s obviously the worst place to live because every white trailer trash separatist can’t stop whining and crying because “Canada isn’t playing fair” pfft hahahahaha oh man the Alberta separatists are so stupid they don’t even realize that they’re admitting Alberta is a shlthole without admitting Alberta is a shlthole
Alberta is the worst place to live in all of Canada. Every person I’ve met that moved to Vancouver from Alberta said they would never go back 🤣🤣🤣
JV is a gay clown. 👇 🤡
I’m kidding about Alberta being expensive though. Alberta is generally more affordable than provinces like British Columbia and Ontario. The main advantages are cheaper housing, higher average incomes, and the lack of a provincial sales tax (PST), meaning you only pay the 5% federal GST. Maybe that’s why the province has seen a surge of people moving ther ein recent years. I’m a real moron for thinking i’m fooling anyone here. But i’m almost a Crew Trainer at McDonald’s.
What I mean by that is, thank-you for the free advertising of my employer. You’re just helping my job security. Dufus
But keep it up with the McDonald’s jokes buddy. You’re really winning the argument 👏👏🤣🤣
And Albertans still keep paying higher prices and their province keeps getting flooded with lmmigrants. Oh and Alberta isn’t separating… ever. Too funny 🤣🤣
I guess conditions aren’t exactly the same now as they were back when the TMX pipeline was getting built, not to mention there is no pandemic anymore. But i was too stupid to consider these things in my last comment. That’s why I have this stellar job mopping j izz in a McDonald’s and sucking co cks for bus money, since my parents cut off my allowance this year. I think i’ll self-flaggelate myself an extra hour this week.
He won’t fight it in court because the NDP will cause every delay possible until the private backers walk away. Again.
Lol the pipeline supporters are so f**king stupid. They whined and cried for years over the TMX pipeline getting built and then the project was a total disaster. It was over budget by $28.8 billion dollars and absolutely nothing has improved for Albertans or Canadians in general since the TMX became fully operational. The price of basically everything has gone up for the average Canadian and the oilsands has actually seen a decrease in jobs since the TMX was built. The only thing that’s changed is some Billionaires have more money in their bank acounts.. and now the UCPers are supporting another pipeline? Damn these oil & gas Billionaires are loving how gullible the Conservatives in Alberta really are. The Billionaires keep getting richer while Albertans keep getting poorer. Too funny 🤣
Yep, Alberta can have a pipeline, but just not be able to transport oil from it. What nonsense.
Carney had his chance to quit the federal control of Alberta’s resources. He might just reap his reward. -Alberta Separatism, or something similar.
Eby had his chance to stand up to the Natives. He shall Be ousted, as some of the gas and oil that will be transported by the pipeline is in Northeastern BC. – They are furious at him.
A pipeline is going to be built.
Carney expects to ship energy to Asia. They will be routing the proposed pipelines through southern B.C. and expanding Pacific port capacity. This bypasses the tanker ban. Eby is just clearing himself early.
This isn’t the Exon Valdez days and oil tankers and shipping is much more safer. F *ucking Eby and the chugs needs to be taken out once and for all.
Remove the.tanker band for only US tankers.carney.needs to.show that he is.man enough to stand up to.the states.
Thank.premier Smith for never giving up and suddenly.eby is ok with it? Something stinks
And the Conservatives will cry regardless of what Eby does. It’s what they do.
Yeah, they’ll still fight it. It’s what they do.
Why would he? Carney isn’t lifting the tanker ban. Too funny 🤣😁
