A Fort McMurray restaurant’s social media response to potential pipeline restrictions has ignited a lively debate between two provinces.

Following BC Premier John Horgan’s threat to put potential restrictions on the flow of bitumen from Alberta to B.C.'s coast, Asti Trattoria Italiana announced it was pulling all B.C. Wines from its wine list to make an example.

The Facebook post has ignited over 150 comments in less than 24hrs with strong opinions coming from each side of the debate.

Many strong opinions applauded the restaurant's move.

However, there has been no shortage of critical comments as well.

While some responses even called for patience and cooler heads.

On January 30, the BC government announced regulations that would restrict the increase of bitumen transported out of BC’s shores, “until the behaviour of spilled bitumen can be better understood and there is certainty regarding the ability to adequately mitigate spills.”

In a statement included in the release, BC Minister of Environment and Climate Change Study George Heyman said that these restriction are being put into place to protect BC’s coastlines and environment.

Alberta Premier Rachel Notley released a statement only a few hours later, saying that the BC government had run out of tools and were “grasping at straws” with the proposed bitumen restrictions.

Having run out of tools in the toolbox, the Govt of BC is now grasping at straws. The BC Government has every right to consult on whatever it pleases with its citizens. It does not have the right to re-write our constitution & assume powers for itself that it does not have…

“We were assured, and we did the science and we did the research; the Kinder Morgan pipeline is not a danger to the BC coast. Particularly not, given the billions of dollars that we’ve invested in the Oceans Protection Plan,” said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in a radio interview Thursday morning.

“The pipeline is going to get built. We will stand by our decision, we will ensure that the Kinder Morgan pipeline gets built.”
