Prime Minister Mark Carney is pushing for a new oil pipeline to the Pacific coast to address global energy shortages and economic instability. To balance this with climate goals, the project is contingent on the implementation of the Pathways carbon capture and storage system to reduce industrial emissions. The plan faces significant opposition from British Columbia Premier David Eby, who opposes new oil infrastructure and the lifting of the oil tanker ban. This tension highlights the ongoing struggle to integrate traditional resource extraction with decarbonization mandates and regional environmental protections.
