Canadian provinces and companies are starting to revive old pipeline projects. Their goal is to make it easier to transport oil from Alberta's oilsands to markets in the east, west, and south.

加拿大的省分與公司正開始恢復舊有的管道項目。其目標是讓從亞伯達油砂地運往東部、西部及南部市場的過程更加便捷。

Currently, there is a shift toward infrastructure projects driven by political goals. For example, the 'Northern Shield Energy Corridor' is a proposed partnership between Alberta and Ontario. This project aims to move 500,000 barrels of oil per day from Hardisty, Alberta, to Sarnia, Ontario. It is similar to the Energy East project that ended in 2017, but it will avoid Quebec in the first stage. Although Saskatchewan has officially supported the plan, experts are questioning how involved the province really is and whether it is using the project to get better deals from the federal government.

目前，基礎設施項目正呈現出由政治目標驅動的轉向。例如，「北方之盾能源走廊」(Northern Shield Energy Corridor) 是亞伯達與安大略提出的一項合作提案。該項目旨在每日將 50 萬桶石油從亞伯達的 Hardisty 運往安大略的 Sarnia。這與 2017 年結束的 Energy East 項目相似，但在第一階段將避開魁北克。儘管薩斯喀徹溫正式支持該計劃，但專家質疑該省的實際參與程度，以及是否利用此項目向聯邦政府爭取更優渥的條件。

At the same time, Canada is working on western export routes. After the Northern Gateway project was cancelled by the courts due to a lack of consultation with Indigenous groups, Alberta proposed a southern route using the Trans Mountain system. This new project will move one million barrels a day and will be managed by a federal corporation. Furthermore, the Alberta government and Pembina Pipeline Corp. will invest in it, and the plan includes offering ownership shares to Indigenous partners.

與此同時，加拿大正致力於開發西方出口路線。在 Northern Gateway 項目因缺乏與原住民團體諮詢而遭法院取消後，亞伯達提出了利用 Trans Mountain 系統的南方路線。這項新項目每日將輸送 100 萬桶石油，並由一家聯邦公司管理。此外，亞伯達政府與 Pembina Pipeline Corp. 將對此投資，且計劃包括向原住民合夥人提供所有權股份。

Regarding exports to the south, South Bow Corp. is developing the 'Prairie Connector.' This plan uses existing infrastructure from the cancelled Keystone XL project to connect Hardisty to the U.S. border. The company has already secured 20-year transport agreements and a permit from the U.S. government. However, economists emphasize that there are still major risks. Specifically, a shortage of skilled workers and the need for federal approval could prevent these political plans from becoming a reality.

關於向南出口，South Bow Corp. 正在開發「草原連接線」(Prairie Connector)。該計劃利用已被取消的 Keystone XL 項目的現有基礎設施，將 Hardisty 與美國邊界連接起來。該公司已獲得 20 年的運輸協議以及美國政府的許可證。然而，經濟學家強調仍存在重大風險。具體而言，技術工人短缺以及需要聯邦批准，可能會阻礙這些政治計劃轉化為現實。

Canada is currently trying to expand its oil transport capacity in several directions by creating new provincial corridors and reusing assets from failed projects.

加拿大目前正嘗試透過建立新的省級走廊以及重複利用失敗項目的資產，在多個方向擴展其石油運輸能力。
