PODCAST: "Energy Superpower" or Energy Colony? The Struggle to Build Major Projects in Canada

In this episode of the Rob Breakenridge Show, we’re joined by Heather Exner-Pirot, Senior Fellow and Director of Energy, Natural Resources and Environment at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute.Now that Mark Carney and the Liberals now have their majority government, we’ll look at the important decisions they now must make at what has become a pivotal moment for Canada in being able to move forward on major projects and strengthening our economic position.We’ll talk about the wake-up call contained in a new report from RBC, which looks at how Canada missed out on a trillion dollars worth of investment over the last decade - and how we win that back in the decade ahead and become a destination for major investment.We’ll also look at the status of the MOU between Alberta and Ottawa and why there’s growing concern around the attached conditions, including higher carbon pricing and an expensive carbon capture system.
