Where it stands
Alberta and Ontario are proposing a pipeline project designed to move oil from western Canada to eastern regions. This development aims to expand the reach of Canadian oil to new international markets, though the potential demand from those countries remains a point of inquiry.
Coverage from CBC and the Financial Post highlights a divide between hope and skepticism within the oilpatch, with some citing a less than 50 per cent chance of the deal's success. Additionally, The Globe and Mail has featured opinion pieces advocating for the project and suggesting a route through Quebec, while Bloomberg reports a renewed push for Indigenous ownership in relation to Trans Mountain 3.0.
Future developments center on whether the pipeline can be extended through Quebec and the extent of Indigenous involvement in pipeline ownership.
