Announcing funding to prepare BC for oil spills is ‘a warning sign all on its own,’ UBCIC women’s rep says.
Ending months of speculation, today the Carney government designated the West Coast oil pipeline a project of national interest, sidestepping environmental safeguards that have been in place for decades and charting a course that could irrevocably alter the Salish Sea.
Despite Eby’s ‘buy Canadian’ focus, a firm with MAGA connections is the likely contract winner.
At a time when British Columbia Premier David Eby is championing buying Canadian, BC Ferries may be preparing to enter a multi-year agreement to buy fuel from an American-owned company with strong ties to U.S. President Donald Trump and the governing Republicans.

West Coast Pipeline Won’t Recoup Its $43.7B Cost as Global Oil Demand Weakens
There’s no likely need for Alberta’s proposed West Coast Pipeline, as the rise of electric vehicles and a faster global energy transition drive down future oil demand and prices at a faster rate than industry and governments may have expected, the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) concludes in an analysis released this morning.
