No Cap: Alberta & Saskatchewan Premiers Not Simping for Quebec Pipeline

Spilling the Tea

So, the tea is piping hot, fam. Premier Scott Moe of Saskatchewan straight up said he ain't gonna kiss Quebec's butt for a pipeline. Like, he's over it. "I’m done with that convo. If they want one, they can come get in line." He's focusing on pipelines heading west and south, period.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is on the same wavelength. She thinks most Canadians are now team pipeline, even in Quebec. She even threw shade, suggesting they should develop their own royalty system, so they can stop relying on equalization money from the West. Basically, get your own bag, Quebec!

But wait, there's more drama. Smith and Moe are both side-eyeing the feds' energy policies. They're saying these "Nine Bad Laws" are straight-up investment killers. Smith is on a mission to rewrite the "No More Pipelines" law, end the emissions cap, and ditch the tanker ban off the west coast. She's also sus about plastics being called toxic and the net-zero vehicle mandate. It's all a bit much, tbh.

On the international stage, word on the street is Trump and Carney are cooking up a trade and security deal during the G7 meeting. 👀

Looking ahead, Smith and Moe are brainstorming a corridor with rail lines, power lines, and roads. They're even thinking about using the Manitoba port of Churchill and an Arctic port in Nunavut. Big moves!
