B.C. Premier David Eby says he won't be throwing his support behind a new oil pipeline through the province, dismissing Ontario Premier Doug Ford's suggestion that Eby would change his mind.
Eby says in response to Ford's remarks on Monday that the publicly-owned TMX pipeline is already running through B.C., and the province doesn't support lifting the ban on oil tankers off British Columbia's northern coast.
He says it's not his job to tell Ford it's "extremely unlikely" there will be a tunnel under Toronto's Highway 401, or tell Alberta Premier Danielle Smith her "vision" for a pipeline connecting Alberta and northern B.C. is "many, many years off" with no proponent in sight.
