Trump ‘acting like the enemy,’ Ford says as premiers wrap final day of meetings
ONTARIO, CANADA, JUL 23 – Canada's premiers prioritized health care, immigration, and bail reform while addressing the economic risks of a US trade war and seeking pipeline infrastructure to boost energy security.
- Ontario Premier Doug Ford and other premiers called for a cross-country pipeline to eastern refineries at the July 23, 2025 Muskoka Summit in Huntsville, Ont.
- They urged the pipeline because Energy East is no longer viable, pipelines are full of gas, and eastern Canada relies heavily on imported oil.
- The premiers, joined by Prime Minister Mark Carney, discussed trade tensions with the U.S. and praised cooperation during Manitoba’s recent wildfire emergency.
- A recent Juno News poll found 98.5% support nationwide for pipeline expansion, including unanimous backing in Newfoundland and Labrador.
- The call for pipeline expansion highlights urgency for energy security and self-reliance, while premiers seek improved U.S. trade terms and national wildfire coordination.
