Clark again voicing frustration with Alberta over proposed pipeline
VANCOUVER/CKNW (AM980)

Christy Clark is once again voicing her frustration with our provincial neighbour to the east.

Appearing on Global's "West Block" this morning, the Premier says many Albertans aren't sure of BC motivations surrounding the proposed Northern Gateway Pipeline.

"My frustration has been from the very beginning that in Alberta, the whole debate has been about B.C.'s fair share, and that British Columbia just wants the money. Well the fact is, is that no matter what size the reward in this could be, if the risk is still too great - it isn't going to happen."

Clark says the province's list of concerns about the pipeline continues to grow.

But she adds Enbridge could possibly make more alterations to its proposal.

    You can't tell me Enbridge didn't have a deal with the Liberals years before this? Of course they did and that is why Christy Clarke is going after Alberta to sweeten the pot and not Enbridge. These Liberals won't fly straight until they are out of office! They seem to squeeze everyone for whatever they can get before they are satisfied or it goes all horribly wrong as in this case!

    Christy Clark has yet to make public how much money she wants for BC. She may have told the Alberta Premier however neither leader has shared anything with the people who elected them and pay their salaries (ps I know the whole Province did not vote in Clark but the people in her riding did so she can at least let all of us know how much)

      @AnneH_4 She already knows but it takes time to shovel it all into the liebral trough so every one gets a share of the wealth. The voters can dream over the leftovers while the pipeline is leaking.

    Snookie your life is a Joe Biden moment....someone please draw the curtain on this uneducated brainless twit! Again you were a national embarrassment.....do us a favor ? Drop the word "champion" from your limited vocabulary....the only thing you championed was BC Liberal duck hide and deception.

    But hey a whopping 14 percent still thinks ur the bomb so you have that going for ya.

    blah, blah, blah. never going to happen? no money is enough if it is not safe.?Lets see, 60 billion in debt, 1.3 billion defecit this year, next year the loss of revenue from the cancellation of the HST will increase the debt another 1 billion dollars, the loss of tax from the Property transfer tax wll be in excess of 300 million dollars cause no sane person is buying any houses as they are in a downward trend. Yeah right, no money is enough, we will need jobs and the revenue from the pipeline or we ha better find an additional 1.5 billion in taxes or cuts next year.
