- Alberta and Ontario propose a pipeline to carry western Canada’s oil to the east
Alberta and Ontario proposed a 3,300-kilometer pipeline to transport western Canadian oil eastward to Sarnia, Ontario, with potential future extension to Atlantic export terminals. The project faces challenges including financing, regulatory approvals, and Indigenous consultations, echoing the failure of a similar abandoned project in 2017. A feasibility study is planned, but the route, cost, and private-sector involvement remain undetermined.
