- Alberta and Ontario propose a pipeline to carry western Canada’s oil to the east
Alberta and Ontario propose a 3,300-kilometer pipeline to transport western Canadian oil to Sarnia, Ontario, with potential expansion to Canada’s Atlantic coast. The project faces challenges including financing and regulatory approvals, and follows the 2017 abandonment of a similar project called Energy East. Alberta also plans a taxpayer-subsidized Pacific Coast pipeline to boost Asian exports.
