Yesterday, David Eby released a statement attacking the pipeline MOU signed between Alberta and the federal government.

After years of delays, red tape, and anti-resource activism, Canada could finally be closer to getting our energy to tidewater, creating jobs, strengthening our economy, and reducing our dependence on the United States.

But instead of supporting Canadian workers, the NDP is trying to block progress yet again.

David Eby wasn’t even in the room when Alberta and the federal government negotiated a deal that will have major implications for British Columbia.

He also failed to secure meaningful support for BC’s forestry sector, which was mostly left out of federal relief funding for industries impacted by U.S. tariffs.

And now, David Eby is trying to shame Alberta Premier Danielle Smith for standing up for Alberta workers and Canadian resource jobs.

Here’s the truth:

The real threat to national unity is David Eby’s anti-resource agenda.

I’m a proud federalist. I believe Alberta, British Columbia, and all Canadians are stronger when we work together as partners in Confederation.

But Western alienation is real. Albertans have every right to feel frustrated after years of attacks on their industries, jobs, and livelihoods from activist politicians in Ottawa and Victoria.

British Columbia has an important role to play in keeping Canada united, and that means supporting responsible resource development, not sabotaging it.

A new pipeline would create thousands of good-paying jobs in BC, generate billions in economic activity, and strengthen Canada’s future.

British Columbians deserve a Premier who will stand up for our province and work constructively with other provinces and the federal government to advance our shared interests.

When I was Mayor of Kamloops, I fought for the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion and pushed back against activists trying to shut it down.

I will always stand with BC workers, tradespeople, families, and communities who depend on our resource economy.

Joined fellow Kamloops MLA Ward Stamer in Kamloops last night.

People across the Interior want a government that understands their communities, their industries, and the unique challenges they face. As Mayor of Kamloops, I’ve spent my career standing up for the Interior and making sure our voice is heard.

I’m ready to be a Premier from the Interior of BC who represents every region of this province and brings British Columbians together.

To deliver this plan, we must win — and the data shows I am best positioned to defeat the NDP.

As Premier, I will:

✅Repeal DRIPA
✅Repeal SOGI
✅Lower taxes
✅Fix healthcare
✅Unlock BC’s natural resources to strengthen our economy

It was great to be in Prince George yesterday with MLA Kiel Giddens , meeting with supporters and hearing directly about the issues that matter most to people across Northern BC.

From conversations about affordability and public safety to the importance of resource jobs and local opportunity, it’s clear people want practical, common-sense solutions that strengthen communities and support families.
