B.C. Premier David Eby pushes back on federal pipeline agreement

Eby says Ottawa is rewarding Alberta's 'bad behaviour' with new bitumen pipeline deal

B.C. Premier David Eby has escalated criticism of the federal government's Memorandum of Understanding with Alberta over a new bitumen pipeline to the West Coast. The agreement, announced Friday, proposes construction to begin in Fall 2027. Eby argues the deal amounts to rewarding what he characterizes as bad-faith behaviour, intensifying interprovincial tensions over energy policy.
