Alberta advances business case for new oil pipeline to West Coast

The federal and Alberta governments have moved one step closer toward building a new oil pipeline to the West Coast. Premier Danielle Smith is making a comprehensive business case for the project while attempting to balance competing interests. With less priority placed on green targets and a push for the economic agenda, the announcement has drawn mixed reactions from the business community and environmental groups. The project represents a significant shift in provincial energy policy and continues to spark debate about the balance between economic development and climate commitments.
