I also do not like the fact that discussions were held with Alberta while excluding both BC and Indigenous who have the most to lose . This creates a situation where BC & Indigenous are the bad guys for simply defending their interests , should they say no

#Cdnpoli #Abpoli #Bcpoli
Discussion means nothing . I believe BC ought to have the final say about anything to do with the tanker ban just as indigenous should have the final say in their territory ,as they bear the risks, while Alberta bears none

BC is leading 🇨🇦 with major opportunities to deliver prosperity to all of Canada.

We have billions worth of private sector & First Nations led projects, that are ready to go and will create thousands of jobs.
