原文:Canada’s Carney secures deal for pipeline to expand oil exports beyond US
渥太华表示,在唐纳德·特朗普的贸易战中,未来的管道将减少对美国的经济依赖。
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has secured an investment agreement with British Columbia to build a major oil pipeline, overcoming initial opposition from the westernmost province.
The future pipeline is expected to carry 1 million barrels of oil a day – from the oil-rich province of Alberta, across the entirety of British Columbia, to the country’s west coast – allowing Canada new access to Asian markets and reducing its economic dependence on the United States.
“是时候采取行动了,”卡尼在与保守派阿尔伯塔省省长丹妮尔·史密斯举行的新闻发布会上说。
“The best route for a new pipeline is one that goes through one that already exists, south through the Trans Mountain corridor, to our Pacific Coast, the gateway to the world’s fastest-growing markets,” Carney said.
Carney has set a goal for Canada to double its non-US exports in the next decade and said a pipeline can reduce the price discount on current oil sales to US markets.
该管道将紧密沿着跨山管道已经经过的路线行驶。
It would run from Bruderheim, northeast of Edmonton, Alberta, to the southern British Columbia coast, delivering more than 1 million barrels per day to tankers and then to Asian markets.
史密斯表示,阿尔伯塔省政府正在与联邦政府拥有的跨山公司和卡尔加里的彭比纳管道公司合作建设所谓的西海岸石油管道。
史密斯说:“世界要求加拿大挺身而出,提供世界各国所寻求的稳定、民主和可靠的能源供应。”

史密斯希望阿尔伯塔省在未来 10 到 15 年内将石油产量翻一番,达到 800 万桶/日。
Smith has long complained that Carney’s predecessor, Justin Trudeau, hindered the province’s energy industry and fuelled separatist sentiment.
