Danielle Smith says Iran war underscores need for new Alberta pipeline to the coast
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith emphasizes the necessity for a new pipeline to the West Coast as the Iran war highlights potential disruptions in global oil supply.
In light of the recent conflicts in Iran, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has made a strong case for the construction of a new pipeline that would connect Alberta's significant oil reserves to the West Coast. She argues that the ongoing tensions and potential disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, a vital chokepoint for global oil shipping, reinforce the necessity for Canada to secure a reliable supply chain for its oil exports. The Premier believes that such infrastructure is crucial not only for Alberta's economy but also for maintaining stable relationships with Canada's trading partners.
