Trans Mountain Pipeline

The Trans Mountain Pipeline is a large oil pipeline that transports crude oil and refined products from Alberta to British Columbia in Canada. It spans about 1,150 kilometers and is used to move oil from the oil-rich region to coastal terminals, where it can be exported or processed locally. The pipeline helps facilitate energy supply and economic activity, but it also raises environmental and safety concerns related to potential spills, land disturbance, and climate change. Ongoing debates around its expansion and operation involve balancing economic benefits with environmental and Indigenous rights considerations.
