Premier Danielle Smith calls the pipeline memorandum of understanding a victory and pledges to intensify efforts against Ottawa to protect Alberta’s energy sector and provincial rights.
- On Nov. 29, 2025, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith told about 4,000 UCP delegates in Edmonton she will 'double down' on fighting Ottawa despite skepticism.

- With regional stakeholders objecting, Coastal First Nations warned the deal could jeopardize support and investment, while Smith said she is confident the pipeline will ship a million barrels per day to Asian markets.
