Canada Pipeline Deal Keeps Tanker Ban

The agreement ensures Alberta's path to the coast will not threaten the northern tanker ban, but the new oil pipeline will land near Vancouver.

The deal is part of Canada's broader strategy to cut dependence on the US market for its energy exports.

The multibillion-dollar project represents a significant shift in Canadian energy policy.

The pipeline agreement also comes as Prime Minister Carney deepens ties with the Philippines, signaling Ottawa's broader push to diversify trade relationships beyond the United States.
