BC not blocking oil pipeline Alberta wants: Premier Eby says “there’s no proponent, no money”

From Global News.

British Columbia Premier David Eby says it’s not him standing in the way of Alberta counterpart Danielle Smith’s longed-for oil pipeline from Alberta to B.C.’s north coast — it’s that there’s no proponent, no money and “no project right now.”

It’s Eby’s latest rebuff to the idea, coming after Smith said on Sunday she could convince him to allow such a pipeline.

Eby says that if Smith succeeds in finding a proponent and funding, and assembles a project, then B.C. “will certainly cross that bridge.”

But he says there are already “countless projects” that B.C. could work on with Alberta to create prosperity in Western Canada.
