The $25B Oil Pipeline That Could Make or Break Canada’s Economy – WSJ Breaking Ground


Canada’s $25 billion Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion represents a turning point in the nation’s economic and environmental strategy, raising questions about energy security, carbon targets, and global oil demand.

Canada is the world’s fourth largest oil producer because of Alberta’s oil sands, but 98% of its exports go to the U.S.

The Trans Mountain pipeline expansion aims to change that and open exports to new markets in countries like Japan, China, and India.
