Alberta and Ontario premiers meet in Calgary to discuss Canada's oil export strategy
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Ontario Premier Doug Ford are speaking together in downtown Calgary about how to move Canadian oil to market amid shifting geopolitics and a U.S. tariff dispute.
The two premiers gathered in Calgary to outline a joint approach for getting Canada's natural resources, especially oil, to overseas buyers. Smith emphasized expanding shipments to the British Columbia coast for Asian markets, while Ford said both leaders agree more oil should flow within Canada. The discussion comes as Canada deals with an ongoing tariff conflict with the United States, which Smith has refused to use oil as leverage against President Donald Trump.
Why it matters
The talks could shape Canada's oil export routes and influence its trade relationship with the United States.
