No private company has shown interest in purchasing or building the project, yet the Alberta government continues to push forward with its idea for a new oil pipeline to the coast.

Smith-Carney pipeline deal facing early delays | CBC News

The first set of deadlines included in the energy and climate deal struck between Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith are not expected to be met, showing early challenges with the agreement that includes pursuing a new export pipeline from Alberta to the West Coast.

"Mark Carney made a damaging deal with Alberta to fast-track a new diluted bitumen oil pipeline to B.C.’s coast while rolling back key environmental protections. This pipeline would lock Canada into deeper dependence on a declining, high-polluting industry and put North Pacific ecosystems and coastal First Nations at risk from increased tanker traffic and catastrophic oil spills."

Tell Mark Carney to stop this pipeline and choose a fossil-fuel free future:

'For every day the war in the Middle East drags on, the crisis in energy markets deepens. The price of everything from gas and oil to jet fuel and plastics is rising sharply.'

ANALYSIS | How the energy crisis could get worse quickly | CBC News

For 26 days, oil shipments out of the Persian Gulf have stopped. But ships that made it out before the war started have been at sea delivering energy products to markets that ordered them. The last of those ships should dock in the next week setting off a whole new crisis in global energy markets.

The vast majority of Canadians want to reduce our reliance on / exposure to Donald Trump's United States. Mark Carney, Danielle Smith, Tim Hodgson & co are all working to achieve the exact opposite.

Write your MP and the Minister of Transport to demand that they protect Canada's west coast from oil spills by standing up for the tanker ban:

Write to your MP: Let’s keep the north coast oil-spill free

A north coast crude oil pipeline and tankers project would pose an unacceptable risk of a catastrophic spill that would irreparably harm the rich ecology of the area and the coastal economies that depend on it. Take action by contacting your local MP and the Minister of Transport to demand that they stand up for the tanker ban.

“Every missile strike is another downpayment on a hotter, more unstable planet, and none of it makes anyone safer”

“Every refinery fire and tanker strike is a reminder that fossil‑fuelled geopolitics is incompatible with a livable planet. This war shows, yet again, that the fastest way to supercharge the climate crisis is to let fossil fuel interests dictate foreign policy.”
