Alberta Premier Rachel Notley says she is following through with her threat to restrict petroleum shipments to B.C. as the dispute over oil pipeline expansion heats up.

香蕉视频直播淲e are introducing legislation to allow us to restrict product to B.C.,香蕉视频直播 Notley announced on Twitter Monday afternoon.

Notley reiterated that the Alberta government is willing to invest public money in the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project if necessary, and urged the federal government to 香蕉视频直播渇ollow our lead香蕉视频直播 to press B.C. to drop its opposition.

Premier John Horgan took every question in the B.C. legislature Monday, rejecting accusations that his continued opposition to the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project is unconstitutional and damaging to the national economy.

香蕉视频直播淚 don香蕉视频直播檛 give a damn what The Globe and Mail says,香蕉视频直播 Horgan replied after the newspaper香蕉视频直播檚 lead editorial was quoted to him by B.C. Liberal critics in question period.

Horgan continued the argument of B.C. Environment Minister George Heyman, who told reporters earlier that a court challenge of the project is appropriate and any action by Alberta to penalize B.C. would be 香蕉视频直播渦nlawful.香蕉视频直播 The court reference was made after Alberta cut off shipments of B.C. wine to retaliate against Heyman香蕉视频直播檚 proposal for new regulations to restrict diluted bitumen transport across the province.

Reaction has been fast and furious since Kinder Morgan announced on Sunday it has suspended non-essential spending on the project, twinning its 65-year-old crude oil and fuel pipeline from Alberta to southwestern B.C.

B.C. Liberal leader Andrew Wilkinson said the federal government香蕉视频直播檚 criticism of Horgan香蕉视频直播檚 government on a pipeline that has federal and provincial approval is the kind usually reserved for Quebec separatists.

The Business Council of B.C. is calling for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to meet with B.C. Premier John Horgan to resolve the standoff over the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project.

香蕉视频直播淭his is no longer about a pipeline project or whether one supports or opposes the legal movement of energy in Canada, which all Canadians and our economy rely on,香蕉视频直播 said Greg D香蕉视频直播橝vignon, president of the business council.

香蕉视频直播淧rovoked by the B.C. government香蕉视频直播檚 continued position, this is a referendum on whether British Columbia is open to investment and whether a legal enterprise can, with any confidence, build and operate a business within the province and the country.香蕉视频直播
