## Resource

The feds just approved a historic deal with British Columbia that lets the province collect royalties from a new Alberta-to-coast pipeline — a first for interprovincial trade. B.C. gets a cut of profits and annual payments in exchange for dropping opposition, but economists are calling it “extortion” and a dangerous precedent. If other provinces follow suit, they could start taxing transit traffic — pipelines, trains, trucks — just for passing through, creating new trade barriers at a time when Canada desperately needs to streamline commerce. This political move risks slowing down critical infrastructure projects and could hurt businesses and consumers nationwide.
