B.C. Premier John Horgan and Environment Minister George Heyman will be speaking to reporters in Victoria on Thursday about the on going dispute between British Columbia and Alberta.
The two sides have been feuding since B.C. announced on January 30 that it was considering restrictions on the flow of bitumen by rail or pipeline through the province. Alberta has called the restrictions illegal, and would severely damage the national economy by derailing the federally approved Trans Mountain pipeline twinning.
Alberta Premier Rachel Notley has been applying pressure to the B.C. government, first banning the import of B.C. wines into her province and threatening to take further measures if British Columbia did not address concerns this week.
The Alberta Government also placed full page ads in five British Columbia newspapers on Wednesday.
