Premier David Eby ratcheted up the emphasis on his hard “No” to a northern B.C. oil pipeline Wednesday, supported by coastal First Nation leaders with profound concerns about the threat oil shipping would pose to the Great Bear Rainforest.
They signed a “North Coast Protection Declaration,” which will intensify the breach between Eby and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith. She is intent on building a new pipeline to Prince Rupert and rescinding the moratorium on tanker traffic to boost oil exports away from the U.S.
