Ontario Commits to Northern Shield Pipeline, Alberta Confident on West Coast Project

Ontario Premier Doug Ford has announced that the Northern Shield Pipeline is 'a sure thing', and his government will provide public capital to support it.

This statement comes as Alberta prepares new oil and gas investment incentives, in line with Ottawa's regulatory and tax changes aimed at advancing major energy development.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith remains confident that the federal government will list the proposed West Coast Oil Pipeline as a project of national interest under the Building Canada Act by October 1, which would accelerate its approval process.
