## Resource

Alberta’s pushing to build a new oil pipeline to the B.C. coast, but First Nations aren’t automatically saying no—they’re demanding real, detailed consultation before committing. They want specifics on routes, environmental impacts, and tangible benefits before agreeing to anything. While some nations like Lake Babine oppose oil pipelines due to ecological risks to salmon habitats, others like Tsawwassen say they can’t comment without a proposal. Despite Alberta’s goal of submitting a plan by July 2026, mistrust runs deep, fueled by past broken promises and inadequate consultation on projects like Northern Gateway. Even the idea of First Nation ownership won’t sway coastal nations, who warn that ocean spills are nearly impossible to clean up and would devastate their way of life. Experts stress that rushing the process will undermine meaningful engagement, and some argue the federal government should lead consultations and corridor design. With industry interest uncertain amid existing pipeline projects and heavy oil logistics, this is a complex, high-stakes negotiation with a lot on the line.
