The federal government's new environmental review has been subject to controversy.

Jason Kenney gives a thumbs up as he is sworn in as premier of Alberta in Edmonton on Tuesday, April 30, 2019.

OTTAWA — The federal government is warning the new government in Alberta not to scrap the province's legal limit on total emissions from oilsands of 100 million tonnes a year. Ottawa has issued a proposed list of projects that will be subjected to a controversial new environmental-impact assessment process, including major interprovincial pipelines, large hydro dams and offshore wind farms.

The list indicates new in situ oilsands projects won't have to go through the new review as long the hard cap imposed by former Premier Rachel Notley stays in place.

Feds to exempt oilsands from new reviews unless Kenney lifts emissions capThe federal government is warning the new government in Alberta not to scrap the province's legal limit on total emissions from oilsands of 100 million tonnes a year. What day now keeney? This threat by the feds just shows how little they actually know about the oil sands. It basically means nothing. They’re just trying to fool Canadians that don’t fact check.

Kenney officially sworn in as Alberta's 18th premierFormer federal cabinet minister Jason Kenney has been officially sworn in as Alberta's premier. Look out Horgan Voting for him probably felt great. But all he will do is further isolate Alberta from the provinces they need. Selling BC fewer oil products will be mutually destructive. Also you are impacting parts of BC who actually support Alberta oil (the interior). It’s idiotic.
