Canada will fast track the approval process for a new proposed crude oil export pipeline to its west coast that could generate over C$20 billion ($14 billion) a year in GDP, Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Thursday.
The pipeline, which was announced in July, is a crucial part of Carney’s bid to diversify the economy away from the United States and help lessen the effect of Donald Trump’s tariffs.
Carney said Ottawa would officially list the Pacific Link pipeline as a project of national interest, which enables it proceed through a single federal regulatory review process. He said Ottawa aimed to complete the process by September 1, 2027.
No first nations want it along irs route. Good luck.
Carney has shown nothing but silent contempt for First Nations rights. I doubt any amount of protest will stop this. Sucks. We could be laser focused on nuclear power or something, but instead it’s the same old fucking oil and just to appease that treasonous slime bag in Alberta.
