In terms of protection, there is a $1.5B Ocean Protection Plan from the feds linked to the approval of the TMP.

I'm pretty sure there is some sort of royalties or % for the pipeline to go through BC.

Now AB is passing legislation Bill 12 which gives the Alberta government the ability to retaliate against B.C. over any delays to the expansion by driving up gas prices or restricting shipments of other energy products. This means even higher gas prices at the pumps, projected to be as high as $2/l.

David Eby, BC Attorney General is promising to sue AB in response.

Lawyers are thrilled that this is dragging on and on while our tax dollars are hard at work.

Horgan's ongoing deal with Green Party Weaver hinges on this. Greens are vehemently opposed to TMP and if NDP supports it, Greens will walk away from agreement and NDP gov't would most likely fall.
