Alberta Premier Danielle Smith trumpeted a new energy accord she signed with Ottawa on Friday as a salve for separatists in her province, while some First Nations and her counterpart in British Columbia slammed it as a reward for bad behaviour.
Ms. Smith and Prime Minister Mark Carney on Friday unveiled the details of the pact designed to smooth the path for a bitumen pipeline to the West Coast. Alberta agreed to increase the carbon price it imposes on oil producers, and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through carbon capture and storage, while Ottawa agreed to support a pipeline to tidewater.
I dunno about this. Carney is blarney.
