What happened
Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre addressed Alberta separatism and called on Prime Minister Mark Carney to end the tanker ban off British Columbia, stating the ban blocks Alberta oil from Pacific waters. The political debate is also linked to broader US-Canada trade tensions, where the United States objects to Canadian trade policies and surcharges on American digital media companies.
