Summary
The feds just struck a deal with British Columbia that’s turning heads: B.C. will get a juicy royalty cut from a new Alberta pipeline — and in return, it won’t block the project. This “Cooperative Prosperity Agreement” marks a radical shift, letting provinces profit from goods passing through their territory — a move critics call “extortion” and a death knell for free interprovincial trade. Economists warn it could spark a domino effect, with other provinces demanding tolls for any federally regulated goods, potentially choking Canada’s national supply chain and even forcing B.C. to pay to ship its own products east.
