The possibility of a trade war with the United States has forced businesses to consider how their dependence can be reduced, on which our most reliable partner export market and every way There is a source of goods.
It also includes oil. Alberta almost sends Approximately 85 % of oil that produces the United States According to this province, processing and use of consumers.
Even some Canadian -bound oils flow into the United States with 5 pipelines, which travels from a corner of southern Monitoba and North Dakota to Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and eventually southern Ontario.
The sudden possibility of the United States closed the tap – Michigan’s governor once tried to do – or there are many more implications for reducing Canadian exports through 10 % of revenue.
US President Donald Trump’s trade administration will be a serious, quick move, a serious source of financial concern, in terms of oil prices or enrichment pipeline, even a source of revenue and a clean energy economy rush. –
This makes Canada suddenly considering its short and long -term export and transport options for an industry that will still remain for decades.
It also includes just months ago in breathing of some life, which seemed to be theoretical sound only months ago: the transport of oil in the northern Monitoba Maskig and filling tankers at a port on Hudson Bay.
Clearly, it is an environmentally filled idea that has a potential price in billions and logistics with a price tag that can be secretly declared inaccessible.
But in this particular moment, there is nothing from the table, which once a fantastical sound -based proposal, which includes a proposal to thunder the parallel oil pipeline of the Nelson stream, Vijak National Park. On the south side and a part of the Hudson Bay, a swimming, foreign terminal that is capable of serving oil tankers with ice -enabled holes.
Mike Moussa, Minister for Monitoba Environment and Climate Change, refused to reject the idea of exporting oil through Hudson Bay, even emphasizing that the provincial NDP government’s energy goals in the energy targets right now. The construction of heating districts and air farms is also included.
“We’re going to see every project of this project’s qualities,” said Movie in an interview on Friday, emphasizing that he could not really comment on what he had said. Explained as a suggestion.
“There is a lot of consultation that will need to go into it, including the first nations and other indigenous communities that will be affected, in addition to a variety of municipalities.”
PC leadership supports candidate Idea
Mouses acknowledged, however, is a new interest in finding new ways to get Canadian oil in the market.
He said, “We know that there are many different resources in Canada and I know that… with a tariff threatening to our heads, a movement is going on towards trying to maintain more ourselves. , And I understand that. “
Earlier on Saturday, Monitoba’s Premier Wab Keno eliminated the idea of sending oil to Hudson Bay, rather than strengthening the current port in Churchill, a city north of about 1,000 kilometers north of Winpig To note the province’s constant support.
However, Hudson Bay Port was defused for oil exports, Heder Stephenson’s former progressive conservative government promised 7 million to study alternative oil and gas alternative routes.
The covenant was canceled by the Keno’s NDP government, which states that no actual money has ever been kept for it.
Right now, Hudson Bay is the most donor of shipping oil by Wali Dauderich, who owns a hotel and acetorism company in Churchill and is one of the two candidates to replace Stephens as a PC leader Walking
Dawoodrich regularly raises the idea when he talks to voters expected in the PC leadership race, and argue that an offshore port allows for a year -long shipping, and pipes with the River Nelson The line will cross the more stable geography.
“I don’t think the project involves an unnecessary threat. Russia has been literally doing this for decades.”
“What you want to do is actually a floating island that is anchored on the ground, and pipes that are buried under the sea floor under the sea zone, or 10 miles off noise.”
The cost of such a project will be very high, though Daudit claims that taxpayers can be made at no cost by interest from export markets.
Even if billions are available in some way, this idea will still face strong opposition, as Maois indicated. Environmental workers have warned that even Hudson will take three days to reach the outbreak of the spread, abandoning such outbreaks.
“The idea of putting a bitman in Hudson Bay is a horrible idea,” said Eric Reader, a campaign for the Wilders Committee in Winpieng. There is no way to handle the Hudson Baytman Spill or cleanliness. ” For a study in 2023.
Provincial and federal governments have also dedicated Hudson Bay Coastal Infrastructure Support to the Hudson Bay Railway and Churchill port of the Arctic Gateway.
However, federal support can at least move towards the idea of an oil pipeline if Perry is formed by the conservative Canada’s next government.
This means that Monitoba may face another debate about sending oil through Hudson Bay, as it can still be seen.
