An independent Alberta's U.S. oil exports would mostly be piped through other provinces

If Alberta were to become independent, it would still likely rely on pipelines running through other Canadian provinces to export its oil to the U.S. market, as direct pipeline deals are uncertain in ongoing trade talks. This dependency highlights the complexities of energy infrastructure and the potential challenges a breakaway Alberta might face. It's a reminder of the intricate web of interprovincial agreements that govern Canada's oil industry, underscoring the broader implications for national energy policy and regional cooperation.
