Alberta’s Smith Calls Eby’s Opposition to BC Coast Pipeline Pitch ‘Un-Canadian and Unconstitutional’

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says the B.C. premier’s opposition to her B.C. pipeline proposal violates her province’s right to export its resources and blocks a project she says would benefit all of Canada.

Smith made the comments on Oct. 7, responding to remarks B.C. Premier David Eby made the previous day, where he described Alberta’s proposed pipeline as a “fictional” project that lacks First Nations’ consent, “makes no financial or economic sense,” and would cost taxpayers “billions,” adding that it was a political stunt for political advantage in the next provincial election.
