Six Months or Else: The Pipeline Deadline That Could Shatter Ottawa

from Tap The Maple · host Bakes On Things

Danielle Smith is demanding Ottawa approve major energy projects in six months — not two years — and that single demand may be enough to kill the Memorandum of Understanding she signed with Prime Minister Mark Carney just months ago. As the United States accelerates oil production in Venezuela and global markets shift in real time, Canada’s slow regulatory system is putting Alberta — and the entire country — at risk of losing investment, market share, and energy relevance. In this episode of Tap the Maple, we break down why the Major Projects Office may already be failing, how Venezuela changed everything overnight, and why Alberta may decide it’s done waiting for Ottawa. If the MOU collapses, this could mark a turning point in federal-provincial relations and Canada’s energy future.#canada #politics #canadianpolitics #canadapolitics #alberta
