Eby Tells Carney It Was ‘Unacceptable’ for B.C. to Be Excluded in Proposed Pipeline Talks
Premier Eby demands B.C. inclusion in pipeline talks, warns of risks to thousands of jobs and calls for a $50-billion federal project or funding ban on pipeline.
- Yesterday, British Columbia Premier David Eby told Prime Minister Mark Carney it was `how unacceptable` to exclude B.C. from pipeline talks, urging inclusion of B.C.'s feedback as the Memorandum of Understanding remains unfinished.
- The federal government and Alberta are finalizing a Memorandum of Understanding that could include a pipeline to B.C.'s northern coast and tanker‑ban exceptions, reporting first published Nov. 24, 2025.
- Eby warned the talks must include First Nations and safety assessments, saying Coastal First Nations' consent is required and the Hecate Strait route raises safety concerns while threatening thousands of jobs.
- Eby tied participation to strict conditions on public funding, demanding a ban on taxpayer dollars or B.C.'s access to a $50-billion federally funded project, while Tim Hodgson, Federal Energy Minister, said Ottawa will talk to B.C. "in short order."
- Eby dismissed Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's proposal as a communications exercise, said he was not threatened by a project that doesn't actually exist, and argued this treatment is not something Quebec would face.
