Smith and Carney sign climate and energy deal for oil pipeline

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Prime Minister Mark Carney have signed a deal advancing a climate and energy agreement that could see construction begin on an oil pipeline to the West Coast as early as September 2027. The agreement builds on a memorandum of understanding signed in November and addresses both pipeline approvals and carbon pricing frameworks. The deal marks a significant step forward in federal-provincial energy cooperation amid broader discussions about Canada's climate commitments.
