Is the West Coast ‘Pacific Link’ oil pipeline conditionally approved?
Description
Grant Sprague, a former Alberta deputy energy minister, breaks down Pacific Link—the new name for Alberta's proposed West Coast oil pipeline—and what its national-interest designation actually means. He explains why the project is still not a done deal, why next spring’s open season could be the first real test of industry appetite, and why the headline price tag may not capture the full cost. We also get into Roberts Bank, Pathways, labour constraints, and whether governments are now building the market rather than waiting for the market to build the pipeline.
