Too bad he’s not the environment Minister anymore.
He seems to be fighting his own pm and natural resources minister on this
Who would have thought that the people that have been saying no for a decade would continue to say no. How could we have known though?
This guy is such a complete liability to everything Carney ran on. It’s really annoying that he clings to cabinet like grease on a T-shirt.
Fundamentally eastern Canada needs oil. Period. They can get it from the west or they can get it from the US or Saudi Arabia.
It would be really nice if people like Guilbeault can see past the Plateau and realize that this stuff doesn’t come out of thin air.
His argument is the expanded trans mountain pipeline still has capacity.
In March the pipeline moved 790k barrels per day, full capacity is 890k/day. The CEO thinks it will reach full capacity at 2027/2028.

Keeping Guilbeault in Cabinet is such a dumb unforced error by Carney. The guy is prone to making overly ideological assertions that undermine and derail the agenda of the government at every turn. Making him the Minister of Canadian Identity at a time when separatist sentiments are on the rise specifically because the environmental policy of the previous government villified industry in the prairies is simply mindboggling. The „we won’t build any new roads“ guy is directly contradicting the „let’s build build build and become an energy super power“ PM in his first full day in the new job.
He is irrelevant and should be ignored. Him being in cabinet is an embarrassment to Canada and the liberal government.
Not his portfolio anymore in any way shape or form, and his boss has made a statement suggesting otherwise, or at least suggesting he’s open to the possibility.
Guilbeault should concern himself with getting the CBC back on track.
So what? He’s not in charge, he’s sharing his opinion. Who is this „we“ by the way? If the private sector wants to build one, let them.
However, he is factually correct that TMX is not running at full capacity. It may hurt the private sector case for Northern Gateway if they can use that existing capacity rather than spend years and billions constructing a new one. But that’s not his decision to make.
Guilbeault should focus on his job and on what he in charge of, he is no longer Minister of environment so his opinion on pipeline is not relevant.
This is the obvious punchline to Carney’s comment about only building a pipeline if there’s consensus. OK, no pipeline then.
I’m not exactly sure what value Guilbeault brings to his cabinet.
Guilbeault and his circle of supporters need to be shown that their ideology surrounding our natural resources is just *not viable* in today’s world — simply leaving it in the ground, shuttering the O&G industry and voluntarily accepting economic decline is NOT an option whatsoever, the wider world is still going to have demand for the stuff, and the options are, either A, we play to our strengths and develop our resources in the most environmentally friendly way we can (which is never going to be totally zero emissions), or B, we just torpedo our economy and watch the bloodthirsty authoritarian regimes around the world that have oil under their feet *gladly* fill the void, sell us the stuff anyways at inflated prices and use that money to oppress people/sponsor terrorism (Saudi Arabia/Qatar/Iran). There is no Option C where we just turn off the taps and magically retain our quality of life, autonomy and the whole world joins together to sing kumbaya under a wind turbine.
Of course there is not much of a case for more pipelines if the US continues to take oil at max capacity.
The whole point is to have an alternative of they try to reduce…
Which means that it will not be viable on a pure economcis basis.
Aren’t they likely to have a separation referendum? Surely any plans for this should be put on hold until that is sorted out.
This should not even be controversial. We have the resources, we should use them to their fullest extent.
We can use the profits to build generational infrastructure, solve our social problems, and wean our allies off dependency on hostile foreign powers.
This article is a nothing burger. National Post garbage. How about an article about Pierre « clinging » to parliament. Where is the interim leader?
I think it gets lost in the recent fervour to build an east/west pipeline, but where the hell is the proponent?
If we accept as a fait accompli that more pipelines are necessary, the obvious next question is: who is going to build them?
Why is no one asking how much the feds would commit in direct/indirect funding to this project?
If we’re just saying we’re gonna build it as a public entreprise so the taxpayers are paying full freight, i want to hear that explicitly, otherwise, we’re just talking nonsense without a private actor on standby to build it.
His answer to anything energy related should be „I’d refer you to my colleague responsible for natural resources and energy“. Otherwise Carney should shuffle his ass
Personally, I’d rather wait a bit after the last pipeline boondoggle before we go hog wild on another one. It’d be nice to put some of that money we wasted trying to bribe Alberta into playing nice into some future proofing of our country — renewables that Alberta refuses to build, housing, reupping health care to meet the challenges of the 21st Century, national firefighting and disaster teams.
He’s right, according to the accounts of the r/CarbonMafia in the 2000’s; we were supposed to only hit 1.5C in like 2100 or whatever lie they were peddling, 2025 is the second year we are at 1.5C. We are gonna cook all summer AND choke on smog/forest fire smoke. I’m sorry but r/oilisdead with or without your consent.
I feel like a lot of people everywhere really don’t understand why there haven’t been any projects since the expansion of the Trans Mountain Pipeline (TMX)…
Absolutely the LARGEST and most important reason – Global Crude Oil prices dropped by more than 50% in 2014. That literally means a companies projected profits fell by more than 50%. [Crude Oil Prices – 70 Year Historical Chart | MacroTrends](https://www.macrotrends.net/1369/crude-oil-price-history-chart)
Since 2015 labour costs, material costs, and more have all become drastically higher than they were before the price collapse. Although there’s a necessary step in consulting and compensating First Nations, TMX and other projects have shown that even when these actions are taken appropriately there are still those who oppose the construction of oil pipelines outright which has very real costs when it comes to delays or sabotage.
All costs have drastically gone up and all potential profits have drastically gone down… That’s the new world every country is experiencing right now when it comes to crude oil. We are not the only ones who are experiencing this issue. We just have a very vocal group of people across Canada who don’t understand this (or choose to not accept it) and would rather blame the Liberal government and First Nations.
Alberta is coming to a point within the next 10 years where their oil production will exceed our ability to export with our current infrastructure. So it does make economic sense for the Alberta Oil companies to be looking for new partners in exportation (again, this is THEIR oil, not ours or the federal governments)…
My opinion, Canada should buy back it’s natural resources from the private companies like the Netherlands did and own 100% of our own natural resources. Create more Crown Corporations so that those profits STAY IN CANADA and are put towards Canadians.
This is spin— they are asking the Minister of Identity and Culture about pipelines looking to hang him up. Mind you, Albertans see pipelines as part of our culture.
The minister should also know enough to keep his mouth shut on something that is out of his scope and this is not a great sign for a new cabinet and new government.
Peak oil has been talked about since prior to 2000. If I recall correctly demand for oil was speculated to be at peak around the year 2000, or shortly thereafter– Michael Rupert, Al Gore, et al.
In my opinion, build a pipeline. The nation has to heal. Build it.
Just as FDR invested in infrastructure projects to put people back to work after the Great Depression, put Canadians back to work building infrastructure for the future. Carney has run on this and if we don’t invest in the country’s future demonstrably, during this term, Carney is just another politician.
And yes… I’m okay with spending info deficit. These folks who are all about national debt need to look at the other countries and their national debt… The US has the largest national debt of any country, with Canada being the 5th largest owner of those treasury bonds. Notably, China are 1 and 2 in terms of ownership of US debt.
The spin doctors will damn Carney either way… Building an ill conceived (?) pipeline to get oil to market while appeasing ‚Berya or get nailed on spending money to build that pipeline by Conservatives across the country.
