BC hoped expanding Trans Mountain would be an alternative to a new pipeline. Instead both are possible.

With public attention focused on a proposed bitumen pipeline to British Columbia’s northwest coast, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith let drop that Premier David Eby had told her he agreed to a different proposal to expand oil shipments through B.C.

"Gripping Article/Discussion on Carney Pipeline Deal "- Gene McGuckin

Nov. 27, 2025

Premier David Eby recently described British Columbia as Canada’s future “economic engine,” one that, in a nod to climate change, would be powered “by clean, reliable, affordable power.” Lots of it.
