Just under 3 in 4 Canadians would support (51%) or somewhat support (22%) building a national energy corridor including a pipeline to move Canadian oil and gas from Alberta to Eastern Canada even if there are environmental and Indigenous land claim concerns about the route. About one in four Canadians would somewhat oppose (12%) or oppose (12%) this. This is consistent with the results of the previous wave in February 2025. Respondents in the Prairies (81%) are more likely to support or somewhat support this than respondents in Quebec (60%). Men (83%) are more likely to support or somewhat support this than women (63%). Respondents aged 55 and over (77%) and those between the ages of 35 and 54 (76%) are more likely to support this to some extent than those aged 18 to 34 (64%).
