Alberta Premier Rachel Notley wants not just Albertans, but all of Canada to buy into the idea of the Energy East Pipeline.

She used her province wide TV address Thursday night to make a case for the pipeline as an economic boom for not just Alberta, but all of Canada.

She says the fate of Alberta and our resource sector, is tied directly to the fate of Canada.

She didn't do much more than hint at what's in her party's budget coming out next week.

She says there will be some subsidies up for grabs, but mostly her plan will be to create jobs and diversify the economy, but she didn't give any detail on those plans.
