West Coast Pipeline Push: Alberta and Prime Minister Mark Carney have advanced a new southern oil pipeline proposal to B.C.’s Roberts Bank, with a price tag estimated at $35.2B–$43.7B and a target start as early as 2027, but details on who pays and how it will be built remain a flashpoint. Local Impact & Consultation: B.C. Interior mayors say the project could bring growth, while environmental groups call it a repeat of costly TMX and First Nations want more information and stronger consultation before taking a position. Port & Infrastructure Link: Vancouver’s port authority says its Roberts Bank container terminal upgrades are separate from the pipeline talks, even as the plan could raise questions about future tanker and shipping capacity. Housing & Community Funding: Ottawa announced $40M for Calgary’s Contemporary Calgary renovation/expansion, adding major new gallery space and an LED dome. Environmental Restoration: Parks Canada plans to reintroduce threatened bull trout into two Banff creeks over a 10-year 2026–36 program, after removing non-native fish. Municipal Infrastructure: Prince Albert will revisit rehabilitation of the 6th Avenue East viaducts, with construction now expected after the 2027 budget.
