However, Alberta premier-designate Jason Kenney remains focused on building the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion.
If expanding oil-refining capacity in Western Canada could provide a relief valve for the pressure pushing up B.C. gas prices, Premier John Horgan suggested Friday that Alberta would be a better place to do so.
On the Alberta side of the border, however, incoming Premier Jason Kenney plans to keep his emphasis on connecting infrastructure, said his spokeswoman, Christine Myatt. — Jason Kenney April 26, 2019He followed that up with a tweet declaring that “ pipelines means prosperity for all of Canada!”— Jason Kenney April 26, 2019During the campaign that swept his United Conservative Party into government, Kenney vowed to “turn off the taps” to B.C. with provincial legislation that would enable Alberta to squeeze petroleum shipments to the province to pressure Horgan over his government’s opposition to the Trans Mountain expansion project.
Horgan has been under pressure from critics looking for him to offer temporary relief from some of the provincial taxes on gas, which are the highest in Canada.
