Trevor McLeod at Calgary's Canada West Foundation said the agreement could make Canada less competitive and set off feuds between provinces.

“The last thing they need is hundreds of loud oil tankers carrying millions of gallons of dirty oil through their habitat," says the Center for Biological Diversity in California.

"We have a message for the Pacific Northwest LNG project's investors in Asia — sell your stock," Yvonne Lattie, Gitxsan Hereditary Chief of Wilp Gwininitw, said at a press conference in Vancouver.

British Columbia Premier Christy Clark’s assertion is partly accurate but important details are missing, writes Joan Bryden of The Canadian Press.

The agreement is intended ensure Canada meets or exceeds, the 2030 goal of reducing emissions by 30 per cent below 2005 levels, as promised at last year’s U.N.−sponsored climate change summit.

Trudeau quickly fired back at Wall’s criticism, noting that studies show carbon pricing to be effective and that Canadian climate change policies need to be made in Canada.

"I think Rachel Notley did the right thing," Clark said in a conference call with reporters. "I know it takes courage to come to a place where people may not be happy with the decision."

​For Alberta Premier Rachel Notley, pipeline politics begin and end at home. She won't weigh into the B.C. election where the NDP is opposed to the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain expansion pipeline.

Green Leader Andrew Weaver challenged Notley to a public debate on the project, saying she is not engaging with British Columbians during her trip.

A senior official with the B.C. government says the province expects to negotiate a fair share agreement with Kinder Morgan that sees the pipeline company pay for an environmental fund.

B.C. Premier Christy Clark says the Trans Mountain expansion is "very close" to meeting the five environmental, financial, and legal conditions she needs to endorse the new pipeline.

Premier Christy Clark, who has banked plenty of political capital on developing an LNG export sector, beamed with praise.

Less than a day after the approval of a $36-billion liquified natural project in B.C., the Trudeau government has found itself scrambling to justify its decision.
