Eby criticizes Ottawa for rewarding Alberta's 'bad behaviour' with pipeline agreement

BC premier challenges federal approach to energy accord, citing concerns about provincial threats

· 1 min read · HOC Newsroom

British Columbia Premier David Eby has criticized Ottawa for what he characterizes as rewarding Alberta's 'bad behaviour' through a pipeline agreement. Eby's comments suggest concern that projects are being prioritized in Canada because a premier threatens to leave the country, referring to Alberta's separation movement. The criticism reflects tensions between federal and provincial governments over energy policy and the terms under which pipeline development is approved. Eby's remarks come as the Smith-Carney accord on energy and climate was being finalized.
