B.C. Premier David Eby said that if Alberta were to get a reduced price for carbon emissions, it would make his province less competitive, casually acknowledging the toll it has taken on the Canadian economy.

He made the comments after being asked by Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith discussing a potential route for an oil pipeline that would run through B.C. to get to the northwest coast for shipment to Asian markets.
