Initiated by: Aaron Hagey-MacKay from Toronto, Ontario
Whereas:
On July 2, 2026, the Government of Canada referred a proposed west coast oil pipeline to the Major Projects Office for potential designation as a project of “national interest,” to carry approximately one million barrels of oil per day from Alberta to the coast of British Columbia
The Government of Canada, through the federally owned Trans Mountain Corporation, together with the Government of Alberta, would be majority owners of the pipeline, making it a publicly owned asset
Alberta’s own submission estimates the project will cost between $35.2 billion and $43.7 billion, and the Government has confirmed that the cost to taxpayers remains to be negotiated
Canadians will help finance and own this infrastructure, yet have no say in the project, including what it is called
Public ownership should carry public accountability, and decisions about publicly owned assets should reflect the will of the citizens who pay for them
The Premier of Alberta, whose government is a co-owner of the project, has publicly described direct democracy as “the ultimate form of democracy”.
