Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith have agreed to the broad outlines of a memorandum of understanding that would give Alberta special exemptions from federal environmental laws and offer political support to a new oil pipeline to the B.C. coast, CBC News has learned.

The deal is set to be formally announced at a joint Carney-Smith news conference in Calgary on Thursday.

It would be contingent on Alberta embracing a stricter industrial carbon pricing regime and a multibillion-dollar investment in carbon capture from the Pathways Alliance of oilsands companies, according to sources who spoke to CBC News.

Fuck Smith and fuck Carney, too. -One BC resident.

Also, carbon capture is bullshit that exists to give a veneer of environmentalism to fossil fuel projects.

If BC gets the short end of the deal like TMX this should be a big vote loser for the Liberals. If there's a significant environmental thing that happens I could see the Liberal votes collapsing in BC.

There is a significant possibility of Smith not being someone actually wanting to spend 30B+ on a pipeline in 2025.

We should kill off the oil and gas industry before it kills off human civilization.

I like how we're sinking more money into a dying industry instead of spending it to push renewables and become a leader there. What happens when our pipelines are worthless? Our land becomes fucked, our economy becomes fucked, and we have nothing left.
