Today, Premier Ford and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith unveiled the proposed route for the Northern Shield Energy Corridor, a proposed crude oil pipeline and energy corridor that will strengthen Canada’s energy security by bringing oil along a 3,300-kilometre primary route from Hardisty, Alberta, to Sarnia, Ontario.
This historic nation-building project would be built exclusively through Canada, connecting the country with critical energy infrastructure to reduce Canada’s reliance on foreign markets, provide critical redundancy to existing infrastructure, bring additional capacity to refineries in Sarnia, strengthen national security and domestic supply chains, and creating new jobs for Canadian workers by using Canadian steel and other products during construction.
