To build or not to build: the question facing Canadian politicians, oil and gas experts and industry leaders when it comes to domestic pipelines in light of Trump's tariff threat.
As U.S President Donald Trump continues to talk about a path away from Alberta’s primary export, leaders north of the border have reopened the conversation surrounding a long-dead pipeline. Morgan Black explores how feasible it would be to reconsider Northern Gateway.
Savage argues the project moving Alberta oil to Kitimat on B.C.’s north coast would have opened up opportunity beyond the United States. But one day later, Phillip took back his comments, saying, “I do not support resuscitating dead projects, which would have been an absolute disaster for our lands and waters.”McGill University professor Amy Janzwood is an expert in the politics of energy and the environment, and has studied the Northern Gateway pipeline at length.For news impacting Canada and around the world, sign up for breaking news alerts delivered directly to you when they happen.
The Northern Gateway pipeline was initially approved by the federal government in 2014 but cancelled two years later after a legal challenge.Canada’s major energy and pipeline companies are not interested in building new pipelines due to commercial and and regulatory challenges, she said. Enbridge, the Alberta-based pipeline and energy company behind the now-dead Northern Gateway, told Global News on Thursday it has no plans to revive it.“We currently have no plans to develop Northern Gateway. Our current effort is focused on leveraging our pipeline in the ground and our existing rights of way. There’s lots of capacity there that is efficient and less disruptive to communities and the environment,” Enbridge said in a statement.
On Thursday, Trump also pushed for the OPEC+ alliance of oil exporting countries to bring down the cost of oil — which experts said conflicts with the Republican leader’s own plans to make America energy-dominant.The president’s speech came on his third full day back in office. Trump signed a stack of executive actions this week, rapidly charting a new path forward for the United States.
