BC leaders and First Nations demand Ottawa maintain north coast oil tanker ban over environmental and economic risks.
British Columbia Premier David Eby and coastal First Nations leaders have signed a declaration urging Ottawa to keep the north coast oil tanker ban, citing risks of environmental disaster, lack of spill cleanup technology, and threats to tourism and fisheries.
They emphasize the ban’s roots in Indigenous advocacy and warn that lifting it would harm sustainable development and billions in economic investment.
The move comes amid pressure from Alberta to revive a pipeline project, which Eby calls unrealistic and taxpayer-dependent.
Leaders stress no local support for tankers or pipelines and say any repeal would require overriding provincial and Indigenous opposition.
