Ottawa has encouraged projects intended to expand the extraction and export of the country\u2019s single biggest commodity, fossil fuel, while at the same time seeking to restrict Canada\u2019s carbon footprint, an imperative characterized by the term \u201cleave it in the ground.\u201d Events have rendered that policy contradiction untenable. Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine, and the Kremlin\u2019s efforts to weaponize energy, have shown the folly of allowing complete globalization of energy production. And no country is in a better position to step up than Canada, with its abundance of resources. Canada\u2019s reserves of natural gas rival Russia\u2019s. And yet Canada does not have a single liquefied natural gas export facility. Similar for critical minerals processing, without which technology manufacturing cannot exist. China currently has the global market cornered, while Canada\u2019s engineering capability and regulatory regime goes untested. In this commentary, I urge Canada to pursue energy realpolitik \u2013 to overcome the obstacles of federal-provincial jurisdiction, reconcile restrictions on carbon with the plain need for energy, and partner with the United States, while it is still possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: Maryscott Greenwood, CEO, Canadian American Business Council, published in Taylor &amp; Francis Online Full article: New relevance for Canada on the world stage (tandfonline.com) ABSTRACT For many years, the Canadian government has pursued energy and environmental policies that have difficulty co-existing.
