I would prefer Canada was investing more in renewable energy projects rather than in pipelines.
Probably wouldn’t be happening if we weren’t facing a referendum on Alberta’s future in Canada in a few weeks
I’d think that getting a pipeline to support Alberta being able to export oil without using US facilities is something that could more quickly be implanted to address the economic risk from the current American regime, than executing a faster pivot to renewables.
Taking the wind a little out of the sails of Alberta separatism doesn’t hurt, but I’d bet Carney would want to follow this path, regardless.
A pipeline to the East to serve the European market better could do even more to reduce oil exports to the US. However Quebec has repeatedly blocked that possibility as there is no long term benefit for them from such a pipeline.
Well…Québec is Québec.
