    Just to be clear since it’s not in the article. This once failed Conservative leader is making things up again for a theoretical pipeline that Eby did NOT turn down.

    And also unless the Conservatives who have a tantrum every time money is spent is suggesting we spends 10’s of billions of our tax dollars on a pipeline that doesn’t seem like it could even turn a profit. There isn’t going to be one built.

    As Alberta Premier Danielle Smith pushes for a crude oil pipeline to British Columbia’s north coast, B.C. Premier David Eby says he’s not simply saying no.

    Instead, Eby said he’s against the public funding of such a pipeline.

    “What I don’t support is tens of billions of dollars in federal subsidy going to build this new pipeline when we already own a pipeline that empties into British Columbia and has significant additional capacity — 200,000 barrels,” Eby said on Sunday, referring to the Trans Mountain pipeline

    He added there’s no company currently advocating for Smith’s pipeline propos
