Canada's Energy Boom is Upon Us- w/guest Heather Exner-Pirot

from The Loonie Hour · host Steve Saretsky

Today, we are joined for the fourth time by energy and policy expert Heather Exner-Pirot to discuss Canada's dramatic shift in energy policy and what it means for the country's future. We break down the push to build new pipelines, the growing role of nuclear power and critical minerals, and why Ottawa is embracing major infrastructure projects after years of opposition. We also examine the Bank of Canada's latest interest rate decision, why policymakers are keeping a close eye on oil prices, and what it all means for inflation, housing, and the Canadian economy.Start an investment portfolio that's built to perform with Neighbourhood Holdings!
