BC First Nations baulk at proposed pipeline project from Alberta Premier

B-C’s coastal First Nations are calling on Prime Minister Carney to reject any idea of a pipeline to export Alberta oil to northern British Columbia.
 
The Coastal First Nations-Great Bear Initiative said there is no pipeline or oil tanker project that would be acceptable to their group, adding any proposal to ship crude oil through their coastal waters is a “non-starter.” 
 
The idea is being pushed by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith at the First Ministers conference in Ontario.
 
But Premier David Eby says there’s no plan, no proponent, and no private sector money committed to such a project.
