flag Alberta seeks federal approval for a $14M-funded oil pipeline to B.C.’s coast by 2026, aiming to export to Asia, pending environmental and political hurdles.

flag Alberta Premier Danielle Smith announced a $14 million provincial investment to advance a proposed oil pipeline from Alberta to British Columbia’s coast, aiming to access Asian markets and boost economic growth. flag The project, to be submitted to Ottawa by May 2026, seeks to fast-track approval under federal “nation-building” laws and could carry up to one million barrels per day. flag Alberta says it will not fund construction, relying instead on private sector partners, but faces hurdles including a federal tanker ban, B.C. flag opposition, and lack of private backing. flag The initiative hinges on Prime Minister Mark Carney’s willingness to reconsider environmental regulations, especially if the Pathways project to reduce oilsands emissions is completed. flag While some Indigenous leaders express cautious support, others oppose the plan due to environmental and sovereignty concerns.
