You'll notice there's a premier missing who's province is going to have to be involved in this. Also, how do you all feel about selling off our ports and airports to buy Danielle Smith another pipeline? Because,

There is no private sector proponent or route for a possible pipeline. The Alberta government says it will act as the project's proponent in submitting the proposal to the federal government's major projects office.

that "Sovereign Wealth Fund" will definitely be financing this.

    Does that mean it will be like a crown owned pipeline? Not that privatizing ports is worth a provincial pipeline but that would be an interesting outcome.

    Potentially, depending on how they choose to finance it. The Trans Mountain pipeline is fully government owned through a crown corp, they could do something similar. Or they could go with a P3 model where they use government funds to make investment more attractive to a private corporation resulting in a privately owned pipeline or shared ownership depending on the specifics of the agreement.
