Frosty relations: No matter who wins Alberta election, B.C. sees no allies GlobeBC
The corrosive interprovincial fight over the Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion project has meant that the Alberta NDP, in a tough election battle that will be decided on Tuesday, received none of the campaign support it would traditionally count on from B.C. New Democrats.
The two New Democratic governments should share many policy objectives, and the alternative − a government led by Jason Kenney of the United Conservative Party − seems to guarantee an escalating conflict between the two provinces. But Mr. Horgan reminded reporters that it was Ms. Notley who wrote the bill − although she left it on the shelf. He also suggested that perhaps a UCP government in Alberta might not be as intent on punishing British Columbians as Mr. Kenney suggests.
But Ms. Notley later concluded that those crossovers were a bad idea, because of the BC NDP’s opposition to expanding the pipeline project, then owned by Kinder Morgan. In the 2017 B.C. election, she publicly discouraged her party workers from volunteering for Mr. Horgan’s team.
