Alberta and Ontario propose 3,300-km Northern Shield pipeline to boost Canadian energy independence

Summary

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced a proposed 3,300-kilometre pipeline route (the Northern Shield Energy Corridor) from Hardisty, Alta., to Sarnia, Ont., capable of moving roughly 500,000 barrels of crude oil per day across four provinces. The proposal aims to reduce Canada's reliance on foreign energy markets and boost domestic energy independence. The announcement comes shortly after Smith and Prime Minister Mark Carney revealed a deal on a separate proposed pipeline with a new southern route. However, key details about the Northern Shield project remain unclear.
