US EditionAlberta launches website for potential new West Coast oil pipeline
The website aims to centralize updates, support Indigenous consultation, and outline plans for a pipeline carrying up to one million barrels per day, with an application due by July 2026.
- On Tuesday, Alberta launched a webpage outlining its planned bitumen pipeline to British Columbia's northwest coast, with a submission to the federal Major Projects Office by July 1, 2026.

- The webpage explicitly debunks myths like construction begun, province paying, and route decided, while Energy and Minerals Minister Brian Jean called it a transparent platform stressing evidence‑based planning.
