Ontario exploring construction of east-west Canadian energy corridor with Alberta and Saskatchewan

The Ontario government, in partnership with Alberta and Saskatchewan, has initiated a feasibility study to explore an energy corridor from Alberta to Ontario. The proposed corridor aims to enhance energy security by transporting Canadian oil and gas via new pipelines, reducing reliance on the U.S., and creating jobs. The project also considers building a new deep-sea port on James Bay and evaluating increased refinery capacities. This initiative, driven by a memorandum between the provinces, also includes discussions on Indigenous equity participation and potentially establishing a Canadian Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
