British Columbia Premier David Eby is questioning a recent federal agreement with Alberta that includes a lower carbon price of 130 per tonne by 2040 and promises for new pipeline construction. Eby argues that national climate policies should be negotiated with all provinces rather than through bilateral deals with specific premiers. The dispute highlights the tension between federal climate goals and provincial energy interests. While Alberta secures specific carbon pricing terms, BC is pushing for equal federal support for its own 88 billion dollar portfolio of major infrastructure projects.
