Oil pipeline capacity to spare Canadian exports from looming rail dispute
Written by Emily J. Thompson, Senior Investment Analyst

Impact of Labor Dispute on Oil Exports: A potential labor dispute at Canada's major railroads is not expected to significantly affect oil exports to the U.S. due to excess pipeline capacity, despite concerns from shippers about economic losses and new restrictions on hazardous materials shipments.
Market Adjustments and Preparedness: Companies are preparing for possible disruptions by stockpiling fuels and adjusting logistics, while the expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline has reduced reliance on crude-by-rail, leading to minimal market concern regarding Canadian crude pricing.
