Show Notes
Heather Exner-Pirot, senior fellow and the director of the energy, natural resources, and environment program at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, and a special advisor to the Business Council of Canada, discusses some of the biggest misconceptions surrounding Canada's oilsands—from claims about peak oil demand to questions about pipeline capacity and Indigenous consent. Exner-Pirot makes a powerful case for why the oil sands remain strategically vital, not just economically but geopolitically. She also considers why diversifying beyond the U.S. market matters more than ever, how the industry has dramatically reduced costs and emissions, and why she believes we're at a turning point in how Canadians view their energy sector.
