Mixed Emotions From B.C. Environmental Groups on Alberta’s Pipeline Proposal - Kimberley Bulletin
The deal adds billions in federal funding, preserves the North Coast tanker ban and creates a liability fund for the proposed pipeline.
- On Thursday, Ottawa and British Columbia reached an agreement maintaining the North Coast tanker ban while Premier David Eby committed not to oppose a new southern pipeline in court.
- Alberta announced its proposal for a new southern pipeline with Trans Mountain and Pembina Pipeline corporations, estimated to cost $35.2 billion to $43.7 billion.
- The proposed pipeline stretches more than 1,000 kilometres, with Alberta planning construction to begin as soon as Sept. 1, 2027.
- Coastal First Nations and the Gitxaala Nation expressed relief, while Climate Action Network Canada and West Coast Environmental Law criticized the deal.
- Critics including Anna Johnston rejected the "grand bargain," arguing the project repeats the economic mistakes of the over-priced TMX while demanding clean-energy nation-building focus instead.

But it’s still an oil pipeline that would be more than 1,000 kilometres long. “The decision to uphold the…

'Ecological nightmare': Concerns raised on proposed pipeline's impact on B.C. waters
Opponents in B.C. of the southern pipeline route that Alberta is proposing to ship its raw crude to Asian markets are raising concerns around the impact of increased traffic in B.C. waters. Under the proposed southern route, the crude would travel to the soon to be built Robert Banks Terminal 2, next to Tsawwassen, and be loaded onto Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCC), that are each three football fields long, six highway lanes wide, and 20 storey…
