Canada’s energy future is at a crossroads. In this episode of Government Policy Unpacked, we dive deep into the controversial West-East pipeline, the Energy East project, and what its revival could mean for Canada’s sovereignty, economic security, and energy independence. Why was Energy East canceled? We unpack the history behind the project and the major roadblocks that led to its demise. Why is there renewed interest? Rising energy security concerns, U.S. tariff threats, and Europe’s demand for alternative fuel sources are pushing Canada to reconsider its pipeline strategy. What’s stopping us? From regulatory hurdles and environmental concerns to the shifting economics of oil, we analyze the challenges ahead. With tensions growing between Canada and the U.S., reliance on American energy infrastructure is becoming increasingly risky. Could a Canadian-only West-East pipeline be the answer? Or is it a stranded asset in an era of clean energy and electrification? Join me as we break down the facts, the stakes, and what’s at risk for Canada’s future. Is it time to build, or should we look to greener solutions? Subscribe now and stay informed. Let’s unpack this!
