Premier still pushing for pipeline expansion

Jan 17, 2019 | 3:11 PM

Premier Rachel Notley says it’s time to dramatically accelerate energy diversification in Alberta.

Notley has been frustrated with the federal government’s efforts to get the TransCanada pipeline expansion built.

She told an Industrial Heartland Association event in Edmonton that Alberta has never been afraid to go it alone.

Notley used a campaign style speech to talk up her energy strategy that includes refining more oil and processing more natural gas in the province.
