The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) says the threat by Alberta's premier to cut off oil supply to British Columbia is not "the appropriate tool" to pressure the province into supporting the controversial Trans Mountain pipeline expansion. The existing Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline carries oil from Edmonton to Burnaby, B.C. At a press conference Thursday before the throne speech, Alberta Premier Rachel Notley threatened to retaliate if B.C. continues to try to block the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion. Premier John Horgan said the best route for the Trans Mountain dispute with Alberta is through the courts.
