MOE SUPPORTS NOTLEY IN PIPELINE BATTLE WITH BC

   In early February, B.C. Premier John Horgan proposed restrictions on bitumen shipments that would flow through the expanded pipeline from Alberta to the West Coast. In response, Premier Notley pulled Alberta back from purchasing hydro power and wine from its western neighbour.
    The war escalated a few weeks later when Notley floated the idea of cutting oil shipments from Alberta entirely.
   Though the issue revolves around the two westernmost provinces, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe said he'd back Notley if she decided to cut oil supplies to any market.
    Though Saskatchewan isn't connected to Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain pipeline, the delays in getting the $7.4 billion expansion completed are affecting rail shipments of grain and other products in and out of the province because a lot of oil is moving by train, Moe said.
