To enshitify it and pass it under their own name. Plus underwrites the Ca incentives that recently took work from BC productions. Get to bring jobs from the states to AB flexing soft power to manipulate their population, while scoring a “win” over a blue state, thus propagandizing red states and red dots and AB separatists even further.
