The Ontario and Alberta governments are signing two Memorandums of Understanding (MOU).
Premiers Doug Ford and Danielle Smith met on Monday in Calgary, where they agreed to work together to support building new pipelines, rail lines, and other energy and trade infrastructure.
"In the face of President Trump’s tariffs and ongoing economic uncertainty, Canadians need to work together to build the infrastructure that will diversify our trading partners and end our dependence on the United States," said Ford.
The two provinces also plan on launching a joint feasibility study to help determine the optimal route and endpoints for new economic and energy corridors, what financing or commercial tools may be necessary, and how to best leverage home-grown supply chains for these projects. An exact timeline on the study was not shared, only that it will happen soon.
"Alberta and Ontario are joining forces to get shovels in the ground and resources to market. I look forward to working with Premier Doug Ford to unleash the full potential of our economy and build the future people across Alberta and across the country have been waiting far too long for," added Smith.
Since April, the Ontario government has signed MOUs with six different provinces. This includes Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Prince Edward Island. An MOU between Ontario and Alberta was also signed in June, aimed at advancing both provincial economies.
