You Wouldn't Do It! So Why Would They??
from Tap The Maple · host Hosted By Chris Baker
Why would a global oil company choose Canada over Brazil, Guyana, Texas, or Norway?That's the question I couldn't stop asking after Mark Carney's latest pipeline announcement.The federal government says it has reached an agreement with Alberta on industrial carbon pricing and carbon capture that could pave the way for a new West Coast oil pipeline capable of transporting another one million barrels of oil per day. But there is one question that seems to be missing from the conversation...Who is actually going to invest the billions of dollars needed to make it happen?Oil companies don't have to invest in Canada.They can invest in Brazil.Guyana.The United States.Norway.Or dozens of other energy projects around the world.So this episode asks a simple question:Has Canada created an investment environment that is competitive enough to win those dollars?We'll compare Canada's proposal to other major energy jurisdictions, examine what makes countries like Norway unique, and discuss why several Canadian producers have recently indicated they are waiting for greater policy certainty before committing to major expansion projects. This isn't just a conversation about pipelines.It's a conversation about whether Canada can still compete for global investment.#oil #cdnpoli #canada #markcarney #alberta #daniellesmith #pipeline #transmountain #canadian #investment #economy #investing #canadalife #oilsands #liberal #conservative #pierrepoilievre #texas #brazil #norway #guyana #canadiannews #canadanews #canadavlog #canadavlogs #canadianpolitics #canadapolitics #news #politics #politicalcommentary
