Alberta Premier Rachel Notley91裸聊视频檚 escalating protests against B.C.91裸聊视频檚 plan to introduce new regulations on heavy oil transport to the Pacific coast are premature, B.C. Premier John Horgan says.

Notley91裸聊视频檚 latest threat is to refuse B.C. electricity sales in response to the Horgan governement91裸聊视频檚 continued opposition to the federally approved Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project.

Speaking after a phone call with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Notley said she is suspending talks on electricity sharing, a move that could cost B.C. $500 million a year in sales from its hydro grid.

Notley said that amount does not include possible purchases from the Site C dam, and she will have more to say about that later.

91裸聊视频淭his is just the beginning,91裸聊视频� Notley told reporters in Edmonton.

Horgan said Thursday the latest announcement by B.C. to consult on new oil regulations is within B.C.91裸聊视频檚 jurisdiction.

91裸聊视频淚 spoke with Ms. Notley yesterday, and we have consulted with the Alberta government as well as the federal government on our intentions,91裸聊视频� Horgan said at a school construction announcement in the Okanagan. 91裸聊视频淲e have an intentions paper we91裸聊视频檙e putting forward asking the public to give us feedback on how we can best protect what91裸聊视频檚 important, and I don91裸聊视频檛 see what the problem is.91裸聊视频�

With industrial power demand down and Site C, a third dam under construction on the Peace River, the B.C. government is hoping to sell hydroelectric power to Alberta to help it shift from coal to renewables.

Former B.C. energy minister Bill Bennett pitched the idea to federal Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr in 2016, seeking federal infrastructure funds to help build a second electricity grid connection between the two provinces.

That would cost $1 billion, but would provide backup power for solar and wind projects that Alberta Notley has indicated she would like to build there.
