Carney says northern British Columbia tanker ban will stay as Canada pursues Alberta pipeline

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney confirmed the northern British Columbia tanker ban will remain in place as Canada pursues an Alberta pipeline to the Pacific Coast. The pipeline aims to diversify oil exports beyond the U.S. and address separatist tensions in Alberta, with British Columbia and some First Nations opposing a northern route. Compensation for environmental risks will be provided if the pipeline is built in southern British Columbia.
