I just want our media and political discourse to focus on other parts of the economy other than oil pipelines, mines, and LNG terminals. Why can’t we talk about helping our small businesses scale, or increasing innovation in biotechnology, or making our capital markets function better? Why can’t we talk about new graduates having to go to the USA to find a good white collar job?
One could be forgiven for thinking we are a developing country by paying attention to our discourse. It’s always one or two more pipelines and we’ll suddenly have a real economy!
I imagine the situation is more and more going to look like Texas and some other Red-states:
Alberta and Saskatchewan are some of the best places in Canada for Solar Power, Wind Power, and Battery Technology.
We will see culture war nonsense pumped while it gets more and more implemented.
Then in the future everyone that was against it will pretend they were never against it.
I saw we need to bring back the NEP but something more suitable instead of the disaster that was, use oil revenues to fund mass green initiatives as quickly as possible including SMR nuclear reactors and make Canada very much self-sufficient.
I still support a cross Canada pipeline- have the feds pay for it if necessary, along with retrofits to existing refineries to ensure compatibility.
If insecurity continues in the Middle East, having slightly cheaper crude from Alberta might actually be a vote winner in Quebec and Atlantic Canada, but regardless it is unacceptable from a national security PoV for us to rely on the US and ME for fuel in the East.
