Danielle Smith, Doug Ford announce proposed cross-Canada oil pipeline corridor
The corridor is projected to move 500,000 barrels of oil a day and could expand to 800,000 barrels, officials said.
- On Monday, Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith announced the Northern Shield Energy Corridor in Calgary, a project designed to transport crude oil roughly 3,300 kilometres from Hardisty, Alb., to Sarnia, Ont.
- Following a prior agreement between Ontario, Alberta, and Saskatchewan to pursue an energy corridor, Ford stated the project aims to protect workers and build a resilient Canadian economy.
- The pipeline would move an estimated 500,000 barrels of oil per day, with potential expansion to 800,000 barrels per day, traveling near Regina and Winnipeg to connect Western Canada energy with southern Ontario refining infrastructure.
- Premier Wab Kinew stated the Manitoba government will not join the initiative, emphasizing the province will only pursue large-scale projects that prioritize Indigenous involvement from the start rather than consultation after the fact.
- Additionally, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe endorsed the corridor as a generator of national wealth, while Ontario is exploring potential pipeline extensions to the Port of Churchill in partnership with the Manitoba Crown Indigenous Corporation.
