Alberta, B.C. Premiers Meet, Set Tone For Warmer Relations Over Pipelines

The Canadian Press , 03 Nov, 2014 03:24 PM
    VANCOUVER — Alberta Premier Jim Prentice says he and his B.C. counterpart Christy Clark have moved on from the tempestuous days of Alison Redford.
     
    Redford, Alberta's former premier, and Clark had "frosty" relations over B.C.'s demand for a share of potential oil pipeline revenues.
     
    During a meeting in Vancouver today Clark told reporters that Prentice is the first Alberta premier to truly understand her province.
     
    She didn't elaborate.
     
    Prentice and Clark agreed to continue to work to get a pipeline built to ship Alberta bitumen to the west coast while respecting B.C.'s concerns on disaster preparedness, the environment, aboriginal issues, and profit sharing.
     
    Prentice says Clark has invited him back for Grey Cup week this month, and he plans to take her up on it.
