B.C. and Fed Strike Big Infrastructure Deal | Montreal News
Description
British Columbia and the federal government just inked a major deal worth over $200 billion, unlocking big investments in natural resources, a long-delayed Massey Tunnel replacement, and keeping the North Coast tanker ban intact. Alberta gets the green light for a new pipeline, with B.C.’s Premier Eby conceding constitutional limits and stepping back from legal battles. Federal cash—$10 billion for Roberts Bank and $3 billion for the tunnel—helps move stalled projects and eases tensions between provinces. But the real test? How First Nations along the South Coast respond, where opinions are divided and leaders are eyeing conditions like jobs and contracts. This isn’t just about pipelines—it’s a strategic push for economic growth and political unity.
