Canada’s Carney secures deal for pipeline to expand oil exports beyond US

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has reached an investment agreement with British Columbia to construct a major oil pipeline that would transport 1 million barrels of oil daily from Alberta to Canada's west coast, enabling greater access to Asian markets and reducing reliance on the U.S. The pipeline would follow the existing Trans Mountain route, with support from Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, who criticized former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for hindering the province's energy sector.

Alberta plans to hold a public vote on potential separation from Canada.
