Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Ontario Premier Doug Ford are set to appear together in Calgary today to discuss energy matters. The focus of their discussion will be on optimizing the transportation of Canada’s natural resources amidst global political uncertainties and conflicts.
Smith has prioritized energy issues in her government’s agenda, with a specific emphasis on enhancing the transportation of oil to the British Columbia coast for export to Asian markets. This dialogue occurs against the backdrop of Canada’s ongoing trade tensions with the United States.
While Smith has opposed using oil as a bargaining chip in the tariff dispute with U.S. President Donald Trump, Ford has expressed a differing viewpoint. Despite his belief that oil should not be excluded from negotiations, both premiers agree on the importance of increasing domestic oil transportation within Canada.
