In the latest episode of Not ‘Sorry’ on Juno News, host and Director of the National Citizens Coalition Alexander Brown dives further into the story of the week, the ‘Memorandum of Understanding’ signed by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Prime Minister Mark Carney.

Could what feels like a win today end up as a loss tomorrow? Will we really see a bitumen pipeline from Alberta to the B.C. coast brought to market? Steven Guilbeault quitting in an uproar is surely a positive step towards taking our economy more seriously, but can we produce the action to match the signatures?

Joining Brown is recurring guest Dr. Caroline Elliott of the B.C. Public Land Use Society. Elliott, a popular B.C. political commentator highlights concerns surrounding the role of B.C. Premier David Eby and the role select Indigenous groups may play in obstructing a project with a deadline for completion already years away. And if the political winds change, if Eby runs a spring election on the issue while the B.C. Conservatives struggle amidst internal and seemingly self-inflicted turmoil, could this MOU prove to be yet another disappointment for Alberta, and common-sense Canadians?
