Jan 18, 2019 | 6:08 AM

EDMONTON – The Alberta government is spending $23.4 million to convince Canadians why a major oil pipeline project is needed.

The marketing campaign, Keep Canada Working, is aimed at getting people to support the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion.

The project would triple the amount of oil that flows from Alberta to the B.C. coast for export and increase its value.

The message is that Trans Mountain would boost Canada’s economy and support jobs across the country.
