## Resource

Alberta and the federal government have signed a deal for a long-awaited oil pipeline to the West Coast, with a clear timeline and revised carbon pricing rules. The pipeline proposal must be submitted by July 1st, with final construction approval targeted for September 1st, 2027. The deal promises jobs and projects across Alberta and Canada, potentially easing separatist tensions. However, challenges remain, including the lack of a private backer, undecided route, pending First Nations talks, and British Columbias opposition. The carbon price has been revised, with a target of $130 per tonne by 2035, and joint contracts to ensure certainty. This aligns with Prime Minister Carneys push for net-zero by 2050, as clean power regulations head to court. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
