## Resource

Alberta and Canadas federal government under Prime Minister Mark Carney are nearing a deal to expedite a massive pipeline project to the West Coast. In exchange, Alberta agrees to increase its industrial carbon tax. The deal faces opposition from energy leaders, environmentalists, British Columbias Premier, and First Nations groups. A potential separation vote in Alberta adds to the tension. Smith and Carney recently met to discuss the issue, with progress reported.
