Carmichael: Canada gets a second chance to become a global energy superpower
Canada’s inability to “talk to itself,” marked by years of ideologically driven governments lacking majority support, hindered national progress and stalled consensus on key issues like energy and Indigenous partnerships, writes Kevin Carmichael. At CERAWeek, however, political leaders and industry figures signalled renewed alignment, suggesting Canada may regain credibility and attract investment through greater cooperation. Still, Carmichael says, despite improved dialogue, the absence of a clear strategy, particularly around energy expansion and infrastructure, underscores ongoing tensions between governments and industry over costs, timelines and responsibilities.
