* The discount has narrowed in recent weeks as producerslike Canadian Natural Resources , faced with transportation issues and the wide differential, have slowedoutput of heavy crude, analysts and traders said.

* Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will hold anemergency meeting on Sunday with the premiers of two provinceslocked in a dispute over Kinder Morgan Canada's TransMountain pipeline expansion.
