Could Trump seizing Venezuela hurt Canadian oil?

from Hub Podcasts

Falice Chin, The Hub's Alberta bureau chief, joins Sean Speer to discuss Trump's Venezuela intervention and the implications for Canada's natural resource sector. She argues that despite surface-level concerns about Venezuelan oil displacing Canadian exports, significant infrastructure deficits, and market dynamics make immediate competition unlikely. They emphasize that energy remains a crucial source of geopolitical power and discuss whether Canada should expand oil production or reconsider its strategy in light of Venezuela's changing status.
